Meeting a Celebrity
By Jason | August 27, 2008
Have you ever wanted to meet a celebrity? Maybe you would want to meet an athlete like Michael Jordan, or Tiger Woods. Maybe you would want to meet a movie star like Kevin Costner, or Robin Williams. Maybe your taste is for politics and you would want to meet the President or the Vice President. Maybe you have a taste for TV shows and you would want to meet Steve Carrell, Matthew Fox, or Rainn Wilson. No matter which celebrity it is, I believe all of us regular people are a little awestruck when it comes to meeting someone famous.
Now, I am not the type of person to get real awestruck and stand in lines for hours to see a celebrity but I am always intrigued like any normal person would be. If I were given the chance to meet a celebrity I believe my first choice would be an athlete, like Michael Jordan because I am a huge sport’s fan. However, if I had to choose someone that was a non athlete I would choose either Sylvester Stallone or Michael Keaton. I love watching Rambo, and of course I love all the Rocky movies. Michael Keaton would be my other choice because he is in most of my favorite movies. What would your choice be?
A few weeks ago my wife and I with several family members went to the Chicago air and water show. At one point during the day my wife and my aunt went to go find the restrooms, during their search they stumbled upon none other then Florence Henderson. If you don’t know who I am talking about , that’s okay because until my wife told me her t.v. name, I was trying to figure out if some lady named Florence was a family member or an old coworker of my wife’s. Of course when my wife showed me the picture and said it was the mom from the Brady Bunch, Carol Brady, I knew exactly who it was. Who hasn’t seen an episode of the Brady Bunch? If you asked my wife if Florence Henderson would have been on her list as the top celebrity to meet she would have probably said no but I can tell you when she came back from the restrooms she was very excited.
So I am very special now because I know the woman that had her picture taken with Carol Brady! As we left the air show that day, I looked for the rest of Carol Brady’s family, Mike, Cindy Greg, Peter, Bobby, Jan and Marsha Marsha Marsha but I could not find them, they must have left early! Oh well there is always next year.
Have you met someone famous let us know. And please no exaggerations of how Dennis Rodman took you out to Dennys! Thanks for reading!

That is pretty cool. I met the whole crew of “Best Bleep Sports Show” in Orlando a couple years ago. Tom Arnold was a pretty cool guy. Jeff Jareet the WWF wrestler was there too, but he was too busy smashing a guitar on someones head. They were shooting a promo for the show.

I don’t meet famous people; they meet me.
