Some of The People I've Met...
I was there in October 1996, the night that Brix Smith walked out of The Fall for the second time, she gave me her phone number in the dressing room of their support band[*], [shite non-placed indie pretenders The PoppyHeads], at Cheltenham Town Hall.
Managed not to get punched by Mark E.Smith, but came close I think.

I arranged for friends to interview Fish [ex of 80's proggers Marillion] before a gig at the same venue, he was a talkative friendly bloke and they were in awe. He got off the stage and danced with them towards the end of his gig.

Best of all though, I got to interview one of Englands' few living eccentrics, Lady Lucinda Lambton prior to a talk she gave at a literary festival. Known for presenting television programmes on the history of toilets, the contents of victorian curiosity cabinets, and american architecture, as well as being an accomplished photographer. I was studying history at the time, and we must have talked in some depth, for an hour or something. Out of all the notable people I've met - she's deinately the top of the list.

I turned down an opportunity to meet Tori Amos at a book signing though, I think the squee factor would have overwhelmed me.

Apologies for lack of funnies.
