I worked for Hillary Clinton, met with John Kerry and Bill Richardson, I met Drew Carrey once in an airport, and because I do interpreting work for anime events, I know lots of people famous to anime fans.?? I met Koda Kumi in the mid 2000s. I once had lunch in Atlanta with Our Lady Piece at a Waffle House (shit you not, it was a day after a holiday, maybe Christmas? They had had a show, and the only thing open was Waffle House in Midtown)??? All sorts of crazy stuff over the years, I guess.??

There are reason why its "most famous person" thread, not "every famous person" :)

Kionon, better tell us about working with Hillary in details than list every person in general, that would be way more interesting to read.

"Most famous" is relative. That's why I mentioned a number of folks.

I met Hillary in 2005 in undergraduate. I interviewed her for the student newspaper. My journalism professor was a friend of former Texas Land Commissioner, Garry Mauro. In addition to running for governor against dubya, he also would later head up Hillary's 2008 campaign in Texas. When Bill and Hill were in Law School, they came down to Texas to campaign for McGovern. Garry offered his couch. Garry would play a pivotal role in my next few years. After meeting Hillary at his house that year, I went on to graduate in 2006 and my very first job was working for a campaign out in Georgia, and later for the Democratic National Committee office in Atlanta, where I worked on some Hillary related campaign stuff with skills I had learned first, here in the AMV community. I didn't actually see Hillary very often, but I would at least have a few words with her when she swung by Atlanta to check up on things. I finished my work in politics in the state party, but I simply could make ends meet. So I packed up and headed for Asia, without regrets.

Ani, make your own "Most famous musician" thread and argue with everyone about their taste of music there.

Shinichiro Watanabe who signed one of my Cowboy Bebop DVD's :P

Also, musicians like Dream Theater guys, Anneke Van Giersbergen (Famous for
being ex-singer of The Gathering), and prog. rock legends like Pat Mastelotto
or Tony Levin.

If I really cared how famous someone was I'd actually bother to remember specific people, but I've met, drank with, seen, been around, eaten with, and passed many a celebrity in my day. Who is the most famous.?? iono.?? Mark Summers maybe? Vic Mignonia? Greg Ayers? Dave Anez? Piro? Various sports announcers? Leo Laporte? Nabishin? Ben Folds? Either way, it really isn't a big deal.

hmm I guess John Mayer, I was pretty young, but it was on a flight from Minneapolis to Dallas it was a while before he started getting well known but I remember it being him. He lent me Final fantasy tactics advance for the length of the flight, I later bought it and dumped 100+ hours into it.
