    A few but I'm guessing at a convention doesn't count.

    I think it would count if you actually met them and not just saw them.

    I used to be the Operations Manager for a major airline at SeaTac International Airport. Because of that, I met a slew of celebrities - pro athletes, movie stars, politicians, you name it. During my 20 years in the military I also met 3 U.S. President's and a number of high-ranking foreign politicians.

    Didn't do me any good - I'm still broke...LOL. :p
  5. met one or two famous people, but my best is the XO of HMS conquerer, who sank the belgrano in falklands.

    I went to an occupy wallstreet protest and saw anne hathaway standing right next to me. I wanted to say something buy my jaw dropped instead

  8. A couple of years ago, at our company's Christmas party in Santa Fe, NM, I met and had drinks with Liam Neeson. Very cool guy. While I was in the Navy, during the filming of "the Hunt for Red October," Sean Connery joined us in our office for a couple of hours. Another cool guy.
