Have you ever met any celebrities? Any interesting stories?

Ani DiFranco at antone's in austin, in college. she was there at the same salsa show that sean and i went to say. it took me probably a good hour to go talk to her.
all of linkin park at one point or another. i've talked to mike shinoda three times in person, and once in online chat.
chali 2na plenty of times. ozomatli too. we went to the recording studio with them in austin and then went out with them afterward. jiro and i message each other on myspace sometimes.
i need to write to some of the AFI boys...seems like they write back to people fairly quickly.

...my new burgeoning band obsession. singer william beckett is the girly sort of boy from the snakes on a plane song. he's hot but more importantly, he has a lovely voice. i've been having a hell of a time getting songs up here on vox...for some reason it wasn't pleased with my files. but i used the new amazon search, which is pretty cool, actually.
my favorite song from the new evanescence cd: "good enough." it's SO pretty. sounds like some kind of blues/r&b melody to me...very cool, different style. "the last song i'm wasting on you" is like what jewel would have sounded like if she were more ambitious. this is a bonus track i just discovered.
these are my two favorite songs of the moment. these are both from awesome, awesome cds. definitely the best out this year, imo.
For some reason, "The Killing Lights" strikes me as really...off. In a good way. It is nothing like most of their other songs, certainly nothing like anything prior to the new album. There is a tendency toward an almost 80s style on some of the new songs, but this one just seems WEIRD to me. I have no idea why. Am I crazy? XD I happen to love the odd little guitar line before the chorus. It's that half-step in the middle of everything that sounds twisted and cool. Okay am I being enough of a music geek for you? >_> XD
And "Dig" is just...so pretty. And I um...DIG the lyrics. XD
