Some of my less starstruck celeb encounters include:

-Joe Montana in Office Max, about 3 months ago. Didn't talk to him (I'm not a football fan), but felt a little bad for him because most of the kids working there were too young to know who he was, I think. He WAS wearing a cool bowling shirt with a hula girl embroidered on the back, though. And he looks maaavelous!

-Steve Young sat right behind us at a Springsteen concert a few years ago. He had his head in his hands the entire show (I was told later that he had gotten a concussion in the prior week's game -- again, not a football fan), but his date seemed to be enjoying herself.

-I brushed elbows (literally) with Tom Waits at an Elvis Costello show, as we were waiting to herd in through the doors. I just smiled sheepishly and he gave me a little half-smirk, half-nod. (Okay, I was a little starstruck at this one, too).

-Bowzer from Sha-Na-Na in the gift shop at Harrah's in Reno. Woo-hoo!

-Mike Farrell (of MASH fame) at Circus Circus in Reno. The show was still in production at that point. He's a very, very tall man.

-Lots of '80s rockstars that my husband's old band opened for (Night Ranger, Eric Martin, Gary Hoey). And The Tubes -- Fee was pretty cool. I also sat in as a back-up singer with Bill Spooner's band (The Folk-Ups) at a friend's wedding last fall.
