My friend Pauline and I met Gladys Knight AND her Pips at Palisades Amusement Park in Cliffside Park/Fort Lee, NJ. We even shook all.of their hands. We were 12 years old! We still talk about it.
Have met too many to list, had a few ignore their bodyguards so photos could be taken with them by paparazzi, and after meeting more than once had a few remember my name and saying they hope we meet yet again! And cannot forget that I got to know one of them VERY well, ahem, if you know what I mean!

WOW
I'm so curious on how they were to you.
I'm kinda thinking these were conventions
I really really really hope you have all good memories of meeting these people and they were still amazing to you after
I talked to one on the phone once. Cannot remember his name, darn it. He called me asking for money for the local police department and we ended up chatting for a bit. Very nice guy. Used to play a doctor on television? Oh! I remember! Chad Everett!
WOW
I don't think I will ever be able to afford a meet and greet
I'm curious who was the most awesome to you ??
And of course who was the worse which would be so heartbreaking
I've watched and heard
Keith Richards in interviews what he hates the most is meet and greets at their concerts
I have met more than most people would have thought to. When they found that I was interested in them as a person most were just that...a person. Once someone tried to set me up with one. I could do better.
I like Raimi as a director more and frankly seeing the first draught of the 89 script makes me like Burton even less. Havent ever really loved 89 as much as others to begin with, sonce I didnt grow up with it.
Raimi cause at least he loves spider-man and would try to make a character driven story about peter , whereas burton doesnt care for batman and another batman film by him would be all visuals and not a character driven story about batman.
Burton Batman, while still a notable and fondly remembered version, is (imo) seeming less influential and culturally relevant the more years that have passed since its release. Conversely, Sam Raimi's Spider-Man seems way more influential again, and is, for me, the more definitive take of the two!
The Raimi Spider-man films feel like an overarching story without a satisfying ending. I just have more nostalgia for Raimi Spider-man. Literally nothing would make me happier than hearing that elfman spider-man score over the opening credits of a new Raimi Spider-man movie one more time.
It would be a harder choice if it was the Keaton universe without Burton, even than I might have to go with Spider Man, Raimi is the easy choice with Burton the way he is now.
Burton's best days are behind him and even during those he wasn't perfect. Raimi still seems to "got it", even if I haven't loved all of his more recent work either. Plus, his Spider-Man movies ended on a worse note than Burton's Batmans, so there's a bigger need for redemption.
Now I assume that both Tim Burton and Sam Raimi are very different people than when they left their projects, but since there's been less time in between 2007 and now than there is 1992 and now, I assume that Raimi has retained more of his sensibilities that made his version work.
I ignored it just like Republican lawmakers ignore takkng a bigger stance on control on school shootings. All they do is give meaningless mouth service the whole time pocketing money from NRA lobbyists.
I don't want to take anyone's guns from them, but our children should feel safe.
We already have a military presence in Greenland. Denmark is a NATO ally. Trump should NOT be threatening the European balance or the time-tested established order. This has ramifications far beyond Trump's ego.
US should not invade other countries. Never Greenland or Venezuela. This is Trump enriching himself. Dangerous and destroying US reputation on human rights.
We have existing agreements with Greenland and Denmark regarding military bases. We should expand on that, rather than threaten to take the entire country by force 'if necessary'
