OK, technically I haven't met a famous person (except Laura Bush 
because she grew up in Midland where I'm from), but I did find 
myself behind Matthew McConaghy (US film actor) in the Austin, TX 
Airport one time. I didn't even realize it was him until my DH 
pointed him out; he had on black everything and sunglasses and 
looked way too hip to be a regular person. He's a cutie!

Jen, sighing over her brush with greatness and hoping she meets Alan 
Rickman one day.
