6 degrees of separation? Your brushes with celebrity?

1. I went to high school with Moira Kelly's little brother. (2 degrees)

2. I went to high school with jazz singer Jane Monheit.

3. My husband and I attended a dinner party with Rupert Hokmes (The Pina Colada Song singer)

4. I shook hands with Chuck Negron (from 3 dog night) and Spike Lee (not at the same time - haha)

I think there are a couple more, but they escape me at the moment.

    used to go to a club in atlanta that ru paul danced on a box at before he moved to nyc and became a drag queen.

    got in a fight with siouxsie of siouxsie and the banshees at the same club

    met all kinds of 80s bands -- from u2 to rem to stray cats to bow wow wow -- my best friends were groupies that liked to sleep around with rock stars.

    ate a burrito with emilio estevez.

    weirdest story -- rob lowe tried to hit on a friend of mine and all she could think of was how little his hands were.

    now i live in orlando and lance bass and his boyfriend frequent a bar right down the street from me.

    the theme parks practically guarantee six degrees with everyone in this town.

    I've met Reggie White and Bill Bergey -both former Philadelphia Eagles

    I met Senator Arlen Spector and I grew up around the corner from Congressman Curt Weldon.

    A former co-worker of mine grew up in the same neighborhood as Whoopie Goldberg.

    Another former co-worker of mine met and became friends with the guy who played Uncle Junior on the Sopranos.

    I played ping-pong against George Teague (he is the player for the Cowboys that blasted Terrell Owens when he spiked the ball on the star in Dallas) Oh yeah, I beat him. He was good though!!

    I interrupted Al Roker while he was buying a hot dog from a street vendor. I was on my way to a show at the MOMA, so it must have been somewhere near Rockerfeller Center. He was SUPER NICE!

    Actually the way it works is not only who you connect with but who they connect with and who they connect with.

    True example:

    - My mother knows her state Senator well.

    - Her state senator knows the president.

    - The president has met the pope.

    In four hops, I get to the pope.
