I met Max Keeping. He's a famous local newscaster...
the best hands down was jerry mercer of april wine
I wear my sunglasses at night...
I've never met anyone famous before, although my parents met Prince William once up in the Highlands hunting. My mom and her parents just stood as he asked my dad how he liked the UK, apparently my dad was more impressed with the view than the snooty accented guy with his entourage, hunting dogs and rifles and answered quite unemotionally such as to the question of "May I ask who the Canadian of the group is?" he answered "I am, what of it?" He's probably where I get my not-impressed-by-money ideals from.
Oh, apparently I saw Ben Affleck in Vegas (I think that's his name) although I still think my mom was just trying to get a good story to tell the people when we got home without pissing me off about completely fabricating the story.
I have met Ryan Secrest!
Ooogo Poogo in the Okanogan BC, altough I don't think it constitutes as a person.
Jeeze, I can't remember them all...
A bunch of NHL hockey players (got alot of sigs at the Brad May Charity Game here), same with coaches. Saw Dave Nonis and rode the elevator with Alain Vigneault a couple of nights ago at the Giants' game. Alot of ex-Giants who are now NHL'ers or AHL'ers too.
Some actors as well. My best friend's dad is in a bunch of movies filmed here so we got to hang on set a few times and be extras.
Do peelers count?
Mel Hurtiq when I was an unknowing Mr Canada type left wing patriotic young lad and was involved with a youth wing of the National Party.
Preston Manning when I wised up and joined the Reform movement.
Ralph Klein on several occasions. Have had private audiences lasting several hours twice.
Just about every politician of every stripe in Alberta.
Told Joe Clarke his Conservatives were finished at the Provincial Convention in Banff (1998?)
Many Oilers and Eskimos as my oldest daughters are huge fans and I’m forced to drive them and stand in line at the bloody dog and ponies.
Lady Patricia
Couple of Defence Ministers
and have been backstage with Lee Aaron multiple times from the days when I was a Toronto head banger to the days as an Edmonton Jazz and Blues man. She is still as sexy as ever.
PET- visited our school when I was in Grade 3, shook hands with him.
QE II - was introduced to her by a former teacher who was our MLA at the time of her visit.
Gary Doer (on several occasions)
Reg Alcock (does he qualify?)
Peter Pocklington (is he still famous or infamous?)
Wayne Gretzky (through Peter, who is my maternal grandmother's cousin)
Butch Goring (at a couple of MJHL games)
Bobby Orr (he's my second cousin on my dad's side)
Robin Williams (shook hands with him...once and briefly)
Booed Brian Mulroney after the GST (who didn't?)
I remember singing for Queen Elizabeth at the grand opening of BC Place.
I also have driven next to Christopher Reeves (before the accident). He was speeding down Granville St. in Vancouver in a convertible. I later met him on set for one of his movies filmed in town.
Jessica Alba too, when she filmed her show here. A few times actually, once in Point Grey and another by my house in Steveston.
I took blood from one of the three computer nerds' dad from the X-files. He came in one time with his Dad, whom I had already met several times.
Wil Smith as well, but back when he was the Fresh Prince jamming with Jazzy Jeff.
Uh, that's all I can think of right now. But they are always filming here by my house, I just don't usually hang around to watch.
