My sister says I met David Bowie as a baby. It sounds rather weird, we don't live where he did his stuff. I also don't count it because I'm technically a fan but not in that kind of way. I have nothing more than vague memories. I'm told he had a nice but rather unfocused vibe. In hindsight, it's possible we met a professional imitator and were none the wiser, though one could argue it still counts as some kind of licensing goes into imitation.

Something similar happened with Celine Dion, though in a way where I have seen the real thing, just not up close. Can't really meet someone who has so much security it's like a universal restraining order. I did not dare, but I can tell she has a good vibe.

I met an author I like but who most people probably don't know, the author of A Hero Unmasked. Not sure if it counts if they are obscure to a large degree. Incredibly fun person though, a very human but warm individual. We even talk regularly. It ranks as one of my greatest perks.

I wanted to meet Jason David Frank and had every potential to, but then he committed suicide right as it was going to materialize (do you count visiting a celebrity's grave). I cannot meet Lucy Lawless because I don't live in the same area. And I just fall short of wanting to go out of my way to meet anyone else, even Kevin Sorbo.

I also have visited things like shrines and whatnot related to my spiritual traditions. Not sure if that counts, since the person is a historical figure and you "meeting" them is "symbolic" to an outsider's eyes.
