I think I posted in this thread awhile ago, back when I hadn't met anyone famous. In fact, 2013 is the first year I've actually met any famous people:

First, I'd like to point out that prior to this year I'd been to a couple of Springsteen concerts, and a Earth, Wind, and Fire + Chicago concert. I don't think that really counts, but for the sake of thoroughness I will point out that I saw The Who in concert this year. Similarly, I saw Jay Pharaoh perform a comedy set, and I was only a few rows back, so that was cool.

Getting a little bit closer to real meeting, I went to the RI Comic-Con this year. I didn't meet any of the famous people (I didn't have the balls to talk to them and not buy an autograph), but I saw, among others: Billy Dee Williams, Adam West, Burt Ward, Danny Glover, Ernie Hudson, Sam Jones, William Zabka and Martin Kove (of Cobra Kai fame), Vernon Wells (of Road Warrior and Commando fame), Scott Schwartz (of Christmas Story fame), Sarah Douglas and Jack O'Halloran (of Superman II fame), Glen Morshower (of everything fame), the guys who did Greedo, Bossk, those other two bounty hunters, the guy who was Dak Rattler (and Boba Fett in a scene?), the Aunt Beru that no one cares about, and Tim Rose (of it's a trap! fame). I'm definitely forgetting people. Also I got really close to C. Thomas Howell and was about to shake his hand but he turned away. And I walked really close by Phil Lamar so I could hear him talking.

Now onto the famous people I've actually met. I got to meet Will Forte after a screening of Nebraska and a Q&A. He's awesome. I also met Al Madrigal after he performed a set. He's cool too.
