My uncle is Dick Cable from the Channel 10 news!  He isn't reporting anymore, but people still remember him!

I've also met John Travolta~  Granted I was two and don't remember it, but my mom said I made him smile.

I've also met Pete Wilson, John Garamendi, Heather Fargo, and a few assembly members from Sacramento.

I am a state worker and represented our department last year in coordinating California State Employees Charitable Campaign. At the end of this tremendously successful campaign, we have a very nice annual Thank You Luncheon at the Sheraton Grand Sacramento Hotel. Over 200 people attended, including our Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. He shared his experience as a Chair of the statewide campaign and thank you everybody for generous donations. His appearance was very unexpected (it was not listed in the event program), but definitely pleasant and memorable surprise for a lot of attendees.

When I was still in college, I used to listen to Duncan Sheik a lot.  He was having a concert in the bay area and I bought my tickets for my friend and I.  I was super excited.  We parked the car and was putting our things in the trunk and when I turn around, who do i see?  Lo and behold, it's Duncan Sheik.  I left my friend in the dust and ran towards him and dork that I am, I asked if I could have a picture with him.  He was very nice and accomadating.  I was cloud nine for about a week.  That was probably 7 years ago and I still have that picture.  And, it was a fantastic concert. 

I shook Bill Clinton's hand when he was still in office - no, I was not his intern!

I saw Rob Lowe in Cesar's in Lake Tahoe. He was eating ice cream. I didn't have the nerve to say anything to him, so I just made it more obvious and walked by him like 10 times.

Well our family has met a few celeberties.

  The people from Extreme Makeover. We were eating dinner at Chevys in Vacaville and they were at the table next to us. They were very nice and let us take pictures with them.

Courtney Cox--- Last Dec. when we were at Disneyland, she also let us take pictures with her.

Barry Bonds=== Opening of Bobby Bonds Memorial Jr Giants Field , Barry came up to my son and shook his hand.

Mike Bibby at Fridays in Roseville he gave us a autograph and talked with my boys for a few min.

My father-in-law used to be a limo driver in Tahoe. Among the slew of celebs he would drive around, he drove Elvis a lot. My husband and sis-in-law almost had a play-date with Lisa Maria once.

My husband also worked at Baby Gap in LA and waited on a ton of celebs. Plus went to a party at the Playboy Mansion as a college guy.

My office produces an annual awards show in Hollywood so I've had the pleasure of meeting Stevie Wonder, John Landis (I gushed over the work he did on Michael Jackson's Thriller video), Barry Manilow, Joe Mantegna, James Avery, Jason George, Mindy Sterling (LOVE The Office), Camryn Manheim, Robert Guiallme, etc. At concerts I've met Brian Mcknight and Beyonce.

But my fun celebrity stories are the ones where I have no idea who the heck the person is. In 2000, I was standing in line back stage at a concert waiting to get Brian McKnight's autograph. My friend went to the bathroom and I started to make small talk with the guys behind me. They were super tall so I broke the ice by saying, "either I'm very short (I'm 5 feet) or you guys are very tall." We start talking about random stuff like the weather and what we ate for dinner and then I blurted out, "not to stereotype you or anything but have you ever thought about playing basketball?" They said they play now and then with friends. When my friend comes back from the bathroom she puts the death grip on my arm and asks me if I know who I'm talking to. I mention to the guys that I didn't catch their names...turns out it was Chris Webber and Latrell Sprewell.

Last summer my daughter went to Kevin Martin's basketball camp. On the first day when I went to pick her up I walked into the gym and watched the coaches working with the kids. One of the coaches came and stood next to me to observe from the side and take a break. I start to ask him how my daughter is doing and he tells me she's a great ball player and can really handle her own on the court with the boys. Then I ask if he's just working for the camp as part of a summer job. He smiles and nods...a few kids run over and ask to take a picture with him. I'm trying to figure out why they want a picture with some kid working at basketball camp...you know where I'm going with this...it was Kevin Martin. I don't follow basketball and people had told me that most celebrities who put their names on these camps don't usually show up so I wasn't actually expecting him to be there.

We went to Universal Studios and met Jay Leno...Also, at Universal City Walk, we met Raven Simone...They both were nice and took pictures with us, my son, and I.
