I was in Seven Dials, Covent Garden this weekend for a meal/drinks with my wife. We’d left a pub and walking down the road straight towards us was Thom Yorke from Radiohead. I’ve loved Radiohead since I was about 13, they’ve always been an important, ever present part of my life. I’ve never been so utterly bowled over by seeing a famous person in real life. He was a couple of feet from me but I just froze and stared. My wife said I was squeezing her hand very, very hard and just went extremely wide-eyed in disbelief haha.
To my shame I didn’t have the courage to stop him and speak, just to say “thank you”. I wonder how much it would be appreciated anyway, I imagine not a huge amount. But he realised I was looking (staring like an excited schoolgirl) and gave me a slow, polite nod. Possibly a well honed technique to preemptively stop dickheads like me from approaching.. but for him to acknowledge my presence absolutely made my day… -
@jerkules I would 1000% do the exact same thing if I saw him.
Here’s a story that happened here in Austin a few years ago. It made me more than a bit jealous, but on the other hand there’s no way I could’ve kept my shit together haha…

@popvulture that story is freakin’ incredible.

Right?!? So wild. One of the things I've always loved most about them is their geekiness about gear. Would be so cool to be a fly on the wall while they're playing around with stuff.

Wow! I am a huge Radiohead and Thom Yorke fan and have been from an early age too.
I have kind of a similar story about Omar Rodriguez-Lopez from At the Drive In and The Mars Volta.
I was at the Ottobar in Baltimore, MD standing in line to take a piss. I noticed the dude a in front using the urinal looked like Omar. As he went to the sink I saw that it was in fact him. I let out an embarrassing, "OMAR?!" and he (and everyone in line) turned, looking at me. I held out my hand to shake his, but in my bafflement I didn't realize he hadn't even washed his hands yet. He gave me the one minute please hand gesture and reached into his pocket for a small bottle of hand sanitizer. We shook hands right after he shook his…well. You know.

Also cool. I saw MV at Rams Head Live where they still employ bathroom attendants to hand you a mint and some cologne. So in essence I had almost the exact same experience.
Except instead of my nice bathroom you were at Ottobar, which is almost an exact replica of the bathroom from Trainspotting.
I did meet Bob Mould in the back alley outside of 9:30 in DC. He may have had his dick out, I don’t recall.
