Here are a few more for me:

I saw Chris Hardwick and Mike Phirman (who were excellent) do comedy at The Magic Bag in Ferndale, MI 3 years ago. I gave them cookies in their likeness, complete with the symbol for pi on the front of their shirts. Chris's shirt has an extra symbol, which is the logo for a forum he created for fans of all things nerdy, called The Node. They invited the fans to join them for dinner beforehand at Como's restaurant. Mike sat next to me *squee*, and Chris was two seats down from Mike. I gave them the cookies after dinner. Chris said "These are laced with heroin, right?" Mike saw that they were decorated front and back, and said "That's when you know it's art". Seriously, Mike Phirman is the nicest person. It was a pleasure sitting next to him at dinner. Chris is really nice, too. Here are the cookies:

I have a melodica signed by Chris Hardwick. He signed this after a Hostful podcast taping for The Nerdist podcast. This was at The Royal Oak Music Theater on 4/20/12. Sadly, Chris did not put the podcast up, because Jonah Ray couldn't make it.


My friend Mauri was with me at the time, and insisted that Chris sign the inside of the case as well.
She is the one who gave me the melodica.

I can play the Tetris theme song on my melodica because of a Hard N' Phirm video I saw on youtube.

Chris also signed a cow that my friend and fellow Chris Hardwick fan Diane sent me from Germany. She thought the cow looked like Otis from Back at the Barnyard.
Chris provided the voice for Otis.



Okay, I think that's enough for now.

Oh, well if meeting people count as LCTF, then I have met Al and the band, Penn and Teller, countless YouTube stars, WOTE, The Pretty Reckless, Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood, Tim Hawkins, Gabriel Iglesias, and some others.

Well, I was just saying all those signed items and stuff were the lame claims to fame, not meeting the famous people. I mean, how many people can say they have a melodica signed by Chris Hardwick, who says "It's kind of a wienie instrument". Mike Phirman calls it "The finest of the plastic winds". I don't think actually meeting anyone famous is lame.

The aspect would be name-dropping all the celebs you've met.

Indeed, Jon. That's what Matt Mira keeps telling me.

Once I suggested for EpicLLOYD to free-style rap with the word "accordion" during a livestream & he did it! (Nicepeter also replied to my Epic Rap Battle suggestions)
My great uncle used to work with Freddy Fender.
Joe Biden signed a poster for me then when he left the speech he waved to me from his limo!
(These are all true.)
