Well, my cousin is actually a very popular DJ-type thingy. He makes dance music for clubs. His stage name is Mo Shic. www.moshic.com/And his brother (my other cousin) is also a very well off Israeli radio DJ. But, I guess that's not very famous.

I once met Brian O'Connor(Schemer from 'Shining Time Station'). It was back in 1994, when I was about 5. I had entered a 'Dress Up Like Schemer' Contest, and when we got there, I saw that the real Schemer was there as well! I had to stand in a long line of other contestants before I met him, and I was amazed when I finally got face to face with him. He shook my hand, then my mom took a picture of us together. Afterwards, my younger cousin, who came with us, fell asleep in her stroller. Schemer obviously couldn't resist a laugh, because he kneeled down until his head was level with my cousins, then he gently laid his head on the stroller and pretended that he was asleep too! My mom snapped a picture of that as well, but I don't know what happened to it. I keep the picture she took of me and Schemer hanging on a door in my room, along with an autographed copy of the Shining Time Station video 'Schemer Alone', and an autographed newspaper clipping advertising the event. I wasn't the only one to get a copy of the picture taken of me with Schemer, because the following week, the entire city of Houston got their own personal copy when it was published in the 'Houston Chronicle'. At the contest, I won 1st prize, a Ertl Thomas playset , and the Grand Prize, a Learning Curve Thomas Playset. It was by far the best day of my life!

My mother once met Simon Thorp (Viz cartoonist) at a book signing. This was long before I became interested in it, mind, and it was when my Uncle was a fan of it. Interestingly, Thorpy is my favourite artist, and some of his characters are my favourites.
I myself once met Clare from the band Altered Images at a record store one time I went to London.
