I spent the summer training with Adu (Pele's homie g) at a soccer camp and ended up getting a ball signed by him and a picture signed by Pele and Adu. The guy was like 60 and still broke everybody's ankles, he was pretty badass.
Talked with Wayne Gretsky in a sunglass store while I was staying at my condo in Whistler.
I know a bunch of guys on the Mariners (yes sucky team) since I've worked as a physical therapist tech with HealthSouth, I guess that's their main go-to
I ran into Outkast in Paris. He likes to shop. A lot. He had like 5 guys with him, and each of them was carrying about 3 bags in each hand--he said it was all his
I really really would have wanted to meet the cast of The Magnificent Seven. Those guys were like my favorite actors...Steve McQueen mmmmmmm
EDIT: adu thing

I interviewed a lot of gaming celeb types when I worked for GameSpy. For a good while I used to stay in touch with John Romero/Stevie Case. I think Jeremy Soule (who does the gaming music for a lot of stellar titles) might be a favorite if I had to pick someone I had good conversations with.
RL I rub elbows with politicians all the time. But that just relates to activism and most of the time there is no conversation, just fluff.
I talked to a lead designer from Big Huge Games a few hours ago. But that was just to techsupport his hotel connection.

That's cool shit. If I had to pick one guy from the gaming biz to sit down and have a coffee with Jeremy Soule would be the guy.
As for myself, I sat 3 rows behind Ted Turner in Martin Luther's church in Atlanta during the first ever finals in Ted Turner Debate. His suit was very southern, and he stood out like a sore thumb. But I didn't talk to him.

I was at a mall in Orlando looking for a parking spot when I stopped to let someone cross the stree. I asked my wife "should I do the world a favor?" and when she looked up, it was Carrot Top. Didn't get to talk to him or anythign, just thought it was funny.
Mom used to work at a sports medicine clinic.
I met darryl strawberry (pre cocaine bust) and attended a bbq at his grandma's house
Met Mike lynch, pretty cool guy. I've met talked with bazillions of wrestlers, they are everywhere down here. Talked with Hogan, brutus beefcake, jimmy hart and rick flair. i actually met them at a local hooters, they werent in costume or in persona and they are actually pretty cool guys. Just your average frat boys. Except hogan. Hogan is a very cool laid back guy
