I bumped into Richard Taylor (The guy behind weta workshop) whilst walking around the museum Te Papa. He was observing a giant animatronic baby, originally made for The Frightners.

Re: What is your lame claim to fame?
When I was little, I used to have Thanksgiving dinner with Jeff Ross (The Roastmaster General) every year. I hung out with him at a party last spring.
I had a long chat with Anthony Jeselnik about stand-up comedy once, and an even longer one with Adam Ferrara another time.
At age 11, I was at a Mad Magazine art auction at Sotheby's where I met both Mort Drucker and Bill Wray, and I was listed on record as the youngest person ever to bid on a lot at Sotheby's at the time.
My birthday is the same day as that of Joni Mitchell, Morgan Spurlock, and the guitarist from Mudvayne.
In high school, my locker was next to Anne Hathaway's for two years (she graduated two years before I did). I never spoke to her once, but she was very pretty back then also.

I forgot about the whole birthday thing but I guess I share one with Jeff Foxworthy, Macy Gray, Pippa Middleton, Chris Christie & the awesome, Michael Winslow!

Broadway actor Jose Llana used to impersonate me in high school.
My father was an extra in Man of the House, and once unknowingly sat next to Tommy Lee Jones in a movie theater.

This topic needs a shot in the arm. This happened today. My retweet was favorited by whoever runs the twitter account for the Tonight Show:
I really did love Stevie's performance.

4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:
"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11
So awesome!

Emo Phillips, Kelly Carlin, Josh Robert Thompson, and Michelle Belanger have all talked to me a couple times on Twitter.

I saw George H.W. Bush at an opening of a Polish-American cultural center in Philadelphia (he was the vice-president at the time).
I got Scott Ciencin to autograph my copy of "Rogue's Hour" at the Sony Fan Fair in New Orleans back in 2004.
While working at Crocs in the Park Meadows Mall (Lone Tree, CO) I saw Carmello Anthony (basketball player for the Nuggets at the time) shopping around.

Re: What is your lame claim to fame?
Haha, I am such a nerd. Remember when I told you that one of my lame claims to fame was being retweeted by Al? Well, here is the episode of Attack of the Show that I described in my tweet. I guess Al thought my description pretty much summed things up.
My screen grab of the RT again:
The episode of Attack of the Show that earned the retweet:
Weird Al, Sarah Underwood and Kevin Pereira UHF scene reenactment
Is tracking down the source of a retweet another lame claim to fame? Maybe...
No likes for this? Really?
