Celebrity Encounters IIII once stood next to Ian Beale out of EastEnders in the gents' toilets at the BBC. BEAT THAT. Tell us of celebrity encounters that went well, or meetings with the famous that ended up as a complete disaster. (And we'll take it as read you've just made up a "I got touched up by Jimmy Savile" story, OK?)

Before a gig one nightI had a few drinks with a guy who claimed to play guitar for Ryan Adams. I took this at face value as Ryan Adams isn't exactly massively popular in the UK, so there weren't exactly any kudos or awe to be gained. He was a pleasent enough chap. I remembered his name and did a spot of googling when I got home.
Turns out he was lying.
Two more, then I'm done for this topic:
1: I was starstruck meeting Wiliam Gibson at a book signing. He has never written a bad book.
2: I'm pretty sure Douglas Copeland hit on me once. He hasn't written a good book since Girlfriend in a Coma.

If there is one thing I hate more than sportsballit's steampunk, consequently I refuse to acknowledge that book exists.
