I Met Thomas Dolby
He was speaking (read "trying to market some poorly conceived computer music software") at a technology conference I was working at. He seemed like an interesting guy and of course his music is awesome, so afterwards I went to introduce myself. I told him my name and lied that I had enjoyed his talk, to which he responded "that's nice..." and turned away to talk with someone who looked like they had money to spend. If I were famous I would never snub someone in that sort of situation. Never ever.

Oh and once I played some music in a bar with the drummer from the band Phish. He lived fairly close to me in Maine at the time but I think we still have never uttered a word to each other.
