I have had many encounters of interesting, famous people, including Nicole Kidman (rode the chairlift with her in Telluride in 1995), Slash, Eminem, Metallica, Peyton, Gene Simmons, Burt Reynolds, W, John Smoltz, Tom Glavine, among others...For me, it is none of them...My wife and I were in NYC. It was the weekend of the 2015 NBA all star game as well as the SNL reunion party. We love standup comedy and go to two or three different places when we go to NYC almost every time. This time, we were at the Comedy Cellar in Greenwich Village. Pretty decent lineup of up and comers. Kept us laughing all night. Last comedian was wrapping up around midnight and told us "pholks! Your night is just getting started. You are in for a treat. A legend himself has stopped by and would like to spend some time with you all. Ladies and gentlemen, Dave Chappelle!" The place went absolutely nuts! The dude had basically been a ghost for 10 years to most of us...it was unbelievable. We just happened to be at the front table right by the stage/stool he sat on for the next 2 hours...within arms length of the man! We literally hung out with Dave Chappelle for 2 hours on a Sunday night in a town hall style "comedy conversation". He had no material prepared. He asked all of us in the crowd for current event topics that we would like to hear his perspective on. It was truly a magical night. Just, literally, the right place at the right the time. We will never forget it! He had a lot of fun to get started too...my wife, just as he walked up, had to get up to go to the bathroom........you can imagine the abuse...funny stuff. What an unforgettable night.
How about you guys?
