I ran into a famous comedian yesterday and had one of those "holy crap is that really so-and-so? Hiya! . . . you're not as tall as I thought you'd be . . . " moments.  It for some reason reminded me of meeting lcm or d@ve l^tz or someone.  It was really dumb. 
So did twi have it's celebs?  (within its own culture?) 
Did people ever feel excited to meet a "twi-celeb"?
