For me it was Jeff Kinney. I was meeting a different author I love, but there wasn’t enough room downstairs and we had to go up. Turns out that’s exactly where Jeff Kinney works! He’s the author who got me into reading so I thought that was so cool

    I didn’t actually meet him, but I made Bill Hader smile!

    I was walking being him in a parking lot/alley in Venice and when I realized it was him I got super excited, then my friend whispered loudly “keep your cool, don’t make a scene” and then when he turned the corner we could see the smile on his face. It was very exciting

    I’ve also walked behind Fred Armisen and Carrie Beownstein when I walked past a place where they were filming Portlandia

    If you count the dudes from Last Podcast on the Left, though, I’ve met Henry Zebrowski so often that he recognized me on the street when I ran into him coming out of a bar. And he was in a Scorsese movie

      Hail yourself! I was just scrolling back to see if anyone had met any of the boys. I am sad I haven’t met any of them yet. Seems like all of them would be excellent folks to get a beer and talk about weird shit with. It’s strange how parasocial relationships work. I’ve been listening to them twice a week for 8 years and feel like they’re my friends.
