Celebrity I thought I met
Matt Groening: got a call at one of my receptionist job about possible donation of comic books from a comic book collector who claimed to receive, "many free copies" with his orders. Learned he went to free comic book day and was interested in my zine after casual banter. Name was Matt. Coworker confirmed possibility. Next day found from another coworker it was not him.

Rider Strong: juror at the Bendfilm awards where I was volunteering. Saw him at the Awards Ceremony. Made eye contact.
William Hurt: sat at table 23 at Johnny Carino's on Father's Day and had calamari with son and wife. Friend Bryce was server. Left memo for the Hulk 2.
David Blaine: flying on the same plane to Texas (or was it Cancun?). Wearing fedora and glasses. Not 100% positive of identity.
Rainn Wilson: did a talk at the Spiritual Awareness Center. Heard him, did not see him. Everyone said he was a dick.
Celebrities I have met:
Stephen Baldwin: served him at a restautant in Redmond while he was in town for a church thing.
Daniel Martin: "Jarrod," kid on Gummo: met him at Timber's in Redmond while he was grounded in town (he's a pilot). Drank a lot of beer and ended up at the Larry and His Flask house.
