Iggy here:

Did you actually get to say more than "Hi... I am, like, your BIGGEST fan.
You are, like, so... you know... COOL!  Oh, can I have your autograph?"

*grin* I think the main question is, did you actually get to chat with them
for more than 30 seconds in a line?  If not, then you met them "fan-wise."
If so, then you *really* got to meet them.

Iggy here:

Ok, that one doesn't count.  *chuckle*  Otherwise you can say that I met
Keifer Southerland and some of the other stars of the "Lost Boys" because I
was at their set a couple of times while filming in public.


Oh, BTW: I forgot to mention that I met Katherine Kerr as well and got to
chat with her and her husband at length.  The housemate I mentioned who has
the whippets is a professional writer, and I went to drop him off when he
was having dinner at her house.  I got to visit with her for a while.  (She
has a nice little house in a suburb near San Francisco.)

Oh, and my housemate at the time was Kevin A. Murphy.  He's one of the
writers for White Wolf Games, and does some other fantasy writing for
anthologies and on a freelance basis.  I don't think a lot of people would
know of him, and he was also my roomie for two years and is still a friend
of mine... so I never really think of him as a possibly "famous" person...
