I do not understand how people are passed out sleeping on the subway. How do they know when to wake up, is it the rhythm of the subway.Too many to list but then I live in Manhattan where a special code exists when you see 'em: don't try to make eye contact, gush, or seek their autograph...actually that works for riding the subway w/ yer fellow commuters too.
I met the Barenaked Ladies when they were supposed to do a concert but their equipment was snowed in at another location.
Alex Trebek, on the other hand, is a teeny-tiny, wee little man. Met him, also in college, when I tried out for the Jeopardy! College Tournament. He's friendly but kind of cerebral - sort of like that quirky English professor you had in college.

Some people on the subway are constantly passed out and would do that anywhere; not a bad idea to avoid those cars when possible.I do not understand how people are passed out sleeping on the subway. How do they know when to wake up, is it the rhythm of the subway.
I sat next to Michael Caine at the theater in London. We saw him in the lobby, but DH wouldn't let me approach him. We took our seats and the theater filled up except for the two seats beside me and the two in front of them. Just before the curtain went up, Michael Caine and Roger Moore and their wives came in. The ladies sat in the front seats and Michael sat next to me, with Roger at his right. In the couple of minutes we had before the overture, I asked him to autograph DH's theater program for his birthday. He exclaimed that DH must be a Pieces and so was he and so was his wife! I confessed to being a Pieces, too, and he said it was a wonder that we hadn't each killed our spouses, all being Pieces! In the course of passing the program back and forth, his hand brushed my leg and I silently vowed never to wash that spot again! At the interval, their group went out to the lobby for drinks, and the lady in front of DH turned around and asked if we had paid extra for our tickets - ironically, we got them for a discount at the Naval Exchange!

My first touch of stardom involved meeting Tony Williams of the Platters. Walked down a longgg dimly lit hallway that I came to realize were decorated with gold and platinum records. It was interesting talking with him about days I wasn't around for but still recalled vividly via audio.
My son is working for a company that is putting in the new subway from Grand Central out to Brooklyn. They are putting in the rebar and cement. I was down there. Now they are working outside, he occasionally takes pictures of the train going by. He cannot believe how close they are. My son tells me he will call a cab to get home if he is sleepy, he freaks out if he falls asleep on the subway.Some people on the subway are constantly passed out and would do that anywhere; not a bad idea to avoid those cars when possible.
Others such as self are just in a light sleep and pay attention to major stop announcements knowing how much longer it'll take to get to their destination.
Annoying are the ones who "hard sleep" and occasionally rest their head on your shoulders, LOL.
I used to have a "backwards" commute traveling from Manhattan to the end of the line in Brooklyn. Took 1-1/2 hours one way and I learned to sit in the two seaters located at the ends of the cars. Want to fall asleep? Good place to be.
I once sat next to Goldie Hawn at a Los Angeles Kings NHL game. Other than saying hello, I didn't bother her. She gave me a high five after the Kings scored a goal.

She wasn't with Kurt Russell, but rather a female friend.
