Chive's Interesting

What a ‘day with a celebrity’ was like for winners (6 Photos)

Back in the 80's in Detroit I won an invite, via a radio station contest, to a small private concert with Spinal Tap. They never broke character, performed every single song from the movie and were absolutely amazing musicians. To this day I would count it as one of the most fun nights of my life. -sweetmildew ---- I won a lunch with George Takei through a charity auction. We met for lunch on the Paramount lot in Los Angeles. The auction was through a Japanese organization, so he ended up spending a lot of time talking about his experience with WW2 internment camps. It was really interesting to hear his perspective first-hand. Star Trek never came up, which is fine because I'm more of a Janeway fan than a Kirk fan. Before we left, George insisted that we have something autographed by him. We all went into the studio store together. He looked around, trying to find anything Star Trek related, but he couldn't (this was several years ago, before the new movies came out). He walks up to the lady working the register, and he says, using that very distinctive voice/tone of his, "Hello, ma'am... do you have anything Star Trek related?" She looks at him oddly, probably a little star struck. She doesn't respond. George is looking a little hurried and annoyed, "You see", he says, "I was on the show!" Cue everyone breaking into hysterical laughter, except him. -cracker_salad
