Because everyone’s doing this shamelessly I’m going to be shameless for a moment and make a list of people I’ve met, even though it’s not as lengthy as some others:

• Barack Obama
• Bill Clinton
• Simon Pegg, in one of the most hilarious conversations of my life
• All of Coldplay x2, Chris x4, Phil Harvey x3
• Matt Berninger of The National
• All of The Vaccines, Freddie x2, Justin x2
• Albert Hammond Jr gave me a high five because I was wearing an Albert tour shirt from ‘07 and we talked for like a minute

I also once stole Gwyneth Paltrow’s seat, I was talked to by Jay Z, I grabbed Beyonce, I sat next to Jerry Seinfeld and Matthew Broderick in a diner, I’ve seen Matt Hitt in the wild twice, and I run into Stanley Tucci all the time. Fab and I have been to at least four Coldplay shows at the same time, but I’ve never met him. Ryan Gentles is ALWAYS at Wiz Kid every time I go by.  

The only person I really want to meet meet someday is Gary Lightbody of Snow Patrol, the other people I look up to I’m fine admiring from afar if that’s how it has to be. Not that I’d turn down an opportunity to meet like, the other Strokes or something, but I feel like that would ruin all the mystery and fangirlyness I have left.
