Some very cool stories on here!

Mine goes back to 2011:

My girlfriend got me tickets to see Paul McCartney for his Cincinnati show.I had a postcard already signed by Ringo Starr himself and when I realize my birthday gift...I knew I had to try to get Sir Paul McCartney autograph on it as well. I didn't have my hopes up since I knew the chances were very small...

We got to the ballpark early because, I had never seen Cincinnati and wanted to spend some time around the city before the show.We went to the ballpark early to say hi to a friend and as we were leaving to walk downtown. We saw Paul's SUV drive by and go into a parking garage.
*Me pointing at Paul's arrival!*


Then the stadium garage door was down about 80%....



and all of a sudden the garage door reopens up and BOOM!


*My big head*



Paul McCartney comes out to signed for me and my girlfriend!! There was less than 10 other people around besides me and my girlfriend.Those other people just so happen to be walking the street at the right time.His guard said,"You are lucky..he's ahead of schedule." Paul came up to me saw my hand was shaking with the postcard.Look at me and said,"You are shakin' my dear boy!"(I was sooo anxious and nervous!) .He wanted to make the autograph nice and I didn't have anything hard to sign the postcard against...sooo Paul grabbed my hand, to make sure it was underneath the postcard to make it easier to sign...which he took his time to give me his best signature! I told him how much I appreciated him and how he influence my life.He look at me and said,"No problem man!" smile and gave me a wink. I was soooo excited and in disbielf...I was shaking for about 20 mins after I met him.





He came out only to sign for me and my gf..then quickly went back into the ballpark garage and closed the door...as the mob of people were coming.

I still can't believe the timing of everything and how it just seemed meant to be... I'll never forget the day that my I met my idol and how nice he was to me.
