I have a few close, well known friends - and because of our friendship, I won't name them. They're cool people, laid back and down to earth.
One is a punk rock singer / stand up talk performer - and I wrote him when my husband was deployed in 2007. I was drunk, he was comforting (not in person. LOL) . . . and we've been friends ever since.
The other is the sister to a performer who recently passed on - she ran into issues while trying to set up various things to memorialize her brother and I helped her out. We're still close.
I've also met Whoopi Goldberg, Olivia Newton-John, Loretta Swit, Bill Walton, and for those of you who remember Hee Haw, The Hagar Twins......
Met prince Andrew a couple of times x
i got to hang out with jimmy buffet of "margaritaville" fame when i got bumped from a flight from miami to la. we sat next to each other in 1st class. he got me tix and backstage passes to one of his shows. he was a great guy. only a little pervy, caught him looking down my shirt on the flight a few times, but it was kinda cool

I dated a guy in college, whose dad owned a Ford dealer in Indianapolis which sponsored a drag racing team. When they had the NHRA Nationals at Indy, they used to have weigh-ins at the mall, so I got to meet a lot of the big name racers: Big Daddy, Arnie the Farmer, Gas Rhonda, One-Handed Willie, and Shirley Muldownie come to mind off hand
