I've met quite a few political and entertainment types though my job, so those don't count. Two purely chance encounters were: meeting Mohammed Ali as I was walking out of the Fairmont hotel. It would have been better if I had met him in the Tonga room, but I was already on my out of the hotel.
I also partied and talked philosophy with Ian Gillan(lead vocalist for Deep Purple) at his place one night. Kind of a strange experience. It was sort of like that scene in Easy Rider where everyone is sitting around the campfire talking about space aliens.
Oh yeah, I also met Sven-tiki at Hukilau #1, and Otto VS at Hukilau #2. I felt so unworthy...
