To be a celebrity, this person must be internet famous, and someone who may know. For instance, last year, I met Justin Prentice, the actor who plays Bryce Walker in Netflix's 13 Reasons Why, and I took a photo with him. Then, this New Years Eve, I met Murray the Magician, and his assistant, Lefty. I shook hands with both of them. What about you guys?

Never heard of them, Karl. But I have met quite a few, namely:
Ray Davies, frontman for legendary British band The Kinks.
Andy Taylor of Duran Duran (know him personally, his wife is my ex boss' daughter. Great guy).
Margaret Thatcher, former Prime Minister of Britain.
Chris Brasher, former Olympic athlete.
Don Powell, drummer with rock band Slade.
Terry Pratchett, author.
Ronnie Barker, comedian.
Derek Dougan, Irish soccer player.
Christopher Chittell, British actor.
Steve Backshall, television presenter.

I was a classmate of Mike Posner, if anyone here remembers him. And if anyone here is old enough to know Andrew W.K., I had his dad as a law professor, and then I got to meet him in class.

He and I never really talked, but he was a friend of a friend. I did have him on MySpace though, where he posted a bunch of his really early material. Everyone did seem convinced that he was gonna make it big one day, and it turns out they were right. If anyone needs credentials, I do have an old yearbook lying around. I’ll try and track it down and show you all how Mike looked in his junior year at Wylie E. Groves High School (yes, the school really was named “Wylie,” but we mostly called the place Groves).

I was walking on the boardwalk at the park where I live back in 2005 with my one on one worker at the time for the place where I work 4 days a week and Paul McCartney from the Beatles was talking on the boardwalk too with his wife at the time. Paul and his wife at the time where he help out with the seal hunt. Paul said good afternoon ladies it's lovely day. We didn't realize it who it was until after we got to the car and somebody came up to use said that was Paul McCartney.

He was a senior when I was a sophomore, but we had a class together, Geometry I think. This is from our 2006 yearbook.
