Writer's Block: Close Encounters of the Celebrity Kind

Several, actually.

I met TLC a few years before Left Eye died. They came to the BMG facility in Duncan. They were all tiny people, really really small.

I met Marina Sirtis and George Takei at science fiction conventions. I would have met Ray Park if he hadn't bailed on the con in Virginia Beach, but I met a lot of DMEB celebs there. I'd like to think I was a DMEB celeb too. I sure contributed a lot. But I wasn't anywhere near the wonderfulmousness that was MaulsMate, so maybe I wasn't. ::shrugs::

I met Alan Jackson backstage at a concert I went to only because everyone I loved at work was going and it was free. The man is a freakin' hillbilly.

I was serenaded by and later met Weird Al Yankovic.

I almost met Jeff Lynne. I was like three feet away from him when he stopped hobnobbing with fans and walked away. I was devastated.

And I met Barry Andrews, first online, then in person years later in Brighton, England. It was the most terrifying, wonderful, intense, Vampiric, inspirational experience of my life. I'm still not over it and it's been almost three years since that happened. I don't think I'll ever fully recover, truth be told.

Online, I've met Talitha MacKenzie and Bear McCreary, which is pretty grooveh.

I think that's it.

Just popped over here following our exchange about BSG on aunticrist's journal. I went to a BSG convention (well, okay, two of them) and met Bear McCreary. He was a highlight, such a nice guy. I really get a kick out of reading his blogs about the episodes too, he has a really good handle on the characters and it's interesting how much thought goes into what music goes behind every scene.

Also, we have a number of friends in common, and I'm friending you. Just so you know.

I wrote him about the Triquetra I saw him wearing in one of the pictures on his site and was shocked when he wrote me back about it. I made a post about it, but it's friends protected, not that you'll have any problem seeing it 'cos I'm gonna friend you back!
