Tristam performed at my school, was a french presentation or something

I WISH I WAS THERE!! Friggin love his music!

Anyways I met Jeff Kinney a while back at comic con and he seemed like a really nice guy. My mom saw Denzel Washington sitting on a park bench once and I have a relative who worked at the white house. She and Obama had conversations regularly and she and her daughter and her husband took a picture with Barack and Michelle. No joke

I don't usually 'fangirl' although, I've broken my normal routine and I am 'fangirling' A LOT.

This was about 3 years ago when he still worked at NCIX

At Aberdeen mall, Richmond BC Canada.

 

I'm pretty sure this was before Slick showed his face publicly, so I kinda got a sneak peek ;)

If you can keep your inner fangirl in check most celebs will have no problems talking to you xD

If simon tried to contain his emotions that would probably be a disaster xD

And if you threw a box of jaffa cakes in front of him he'd probably explode  :lol:

Met all the members of Breaking Benjamin on several occasions just not in meet and greet sessions. They all lived in my area when they were a band and still do. The drummer used to teach drum lessons at a local music store here. Thats about all I've met though.

SICKKKK!

OT: I saw linus on a bus once, met richard branson, that selena girl disturbed my class randomly in grade 6. other famous people which I forget.

Me and my father went jogging once, when I tried passing the guy ahead of us, we were stopped by bodyguards.

 

Later that day, the yacht of Harry Van Wales departed from the little island we were at.
