electriclandInspired by a comment I made in ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lawgeekgurl's journal, I hereby decree Wednesday, February 9th to be Marginal Brushes with Fame Day. Had an insignificant encounter with a celebrity? Sold a chocolate bar to Britney Spears and been wondering who you could tell? Your mother went to kindergarten with Elizabeth Taylor but you thought nobody would care? Well, I care! Boast about your brushes with fame, here or in your own journal! The more marginal, insignificant and meaningless, the better! (Official Celebrity Appearances probably don't count, which is why I won't count getting Lauren Bacall's autograph at the stage door... although that was cool.)
I'll get the party started:
I interviewed Neil Gaiman for a magazine. I still cringe at the recollection, because I did a truly horrible job.
My grandfather worked for Leonard Cohen's family's garment factory and used to hang out with him in the lunchroom when he (Leonard) was working there in the summer.
One of my cousins ran around naked (OK, at the age of 3) in front of Prince Andrew.

Date: 2005-02-10 03:35 pm (UTC)Hey, I forgot all about my dad's CBC days. He worked with a bunch of people that I probably should know about but can't remember... Exceptions: Barbara Frum came to my parents' wedding. He also worked with Adrienne Clarkson. (He ran into her at a party in Cabbagetown last year and said "Adrienne! What are you up to these days?" That's my dad...)
