I'm no huge Dave Matthews fan or anything, but that's pretty cool! I hope your friend's daughter liked getting a cartoon on her hat and wasn't just randomly accosted by a musician.
Not particularly exciting but some years ago I met Billy Costa while he was doing a demonstration for some cookware or another at a Filene's (I happened to be working there at the time). He is somewhat famous in the Boston area for being a co-host on Kiss 108's morning show (Matty in the Morning), and for years he was the host of the TV show Phantom Gourmet.
I mourned his death. I didn't expect it to affect me so much, but it really hurt.Lucky you - and I'm not surprised, he always radiated an aura suggesting that he was a good soul.
I was so, so bummed when he died young.
They weren't singing....they were just honking.

Sigh, don't I wish! No, I was swept away by the pressing crowd. Now I know what it must have been like to see the Beatles when they first to the US.Depends. Did he touch you?
I'm pro-choice and I shoot back.
Even the world's jerkiest jerks aren't jerks 100% of the time.That's funny, because when I told that story on the SDMB, someone said that they knew someone who had met him through a work situation (I think that was the story, if I'm remembering it correctly), and also thought he was a jerk. Maybe I met him on a good day!
We scored some really clean liquid acid at a Dead show in Maine.
I didn't actually *meet* God, but we waved at each other...
Anything is possible if you use enough lubricant.
I met Jason Mewes this Saturday at a Horror Movie convention in Worcester, MA. He was a nice guy.
He played the old Rockefeller's club in Houston several times. One time when I went to see him, I happened to run into him between sets. We spent about 15 minutes chatting about music and guitars. He was a very nice guy and his death was an incredible loss to the music world.
I've run into him at least twice in Red Bank. He was running a comic book store there for a while on Monmouth St.
This was years ago though, probably around the time of Mall Rats or Chasing Amy. Since then I have seen him but not talked to him at all.
And yes, I walked into the comic book store only because I heard he often worked there and I wanted to see if he did and say hi. Sad really that I would do that. As comic book stores went this one seemed more interesting than usual but I am no expert.
Lots 'o politicians: Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Paul Simon, Dick Gephardt, Mike Dukakis, Jesse Jackson and a bunch of Ohio politicos you probably wouldn't know, including our current governor. Haven't met President Obama yet, but I'd like to. Long ago I met two-time Heisman winner Archie Griffin, who came to my school for a Reading is FUNdamental event. I'd written one of the school's best essays about reading, or so my teacher told me, and got to meet him.
I was on stage with Penn & Teller for their hilarious "Mofo the Psychic Gorilla" routine. Met Leonard Nimoy, James Doohan and David Gerrold at a ST convention.
And as I never tire of boasting, my dad dated Oscar-winning actress Judi Dench (in the Fifties, while visiting the UK); my mom met Eleanor Roosevelt (my grandfather was very active in the Democratic Party); and both of my parents saw Albert Einstein bicycling around Princeton when they lived there.

A lame joke. Apologies.

He was a schmuck.
