Writer's Block: Starstruck

I briefly went to high school with comic actor Jack McBrayer. Also, over the years I've met:

Anne Rice, author
Harrison Schmidt, Apollo 17 astronaut and U.S. Senator
David Levy, Astronomer
Alan Hale and Thomas Bopp, comet co-discoverers
BT, musician
Howard Dean, politician
Zahi Hawass, Egyptologist
Phil Plait, astronomer/blogger
Judy Tenuta, comedienne
Peter Mayhew, actor

All nice, of course. Except Zahi Hawass.
