Your Encounters With Near-Greatness:

#1

We all have our stories of chance meetings with glamorous movers and shakers, heads of state or runners-up of American Idol. Sure, meeting the Pope, the President or even Clay Aiken is generally considered a great honor, but it doesn’t make for very interesting conversation during happy hour. Share with us instead, your encounters with those lesser known celebrities…the ones who may still have at least five minute of fame coming to them.
