My freshman year roommate tried to change himself to a 30-hour day (missing classes every 3rd day), played CSNY incessantly, and never came back for spring semester. So not great, but not traumatic.

Not really notable 'meetings', but my wife did almost get run over by Mario Andretti on a scooter in the pits at Michigan Speedway. :) I don't know that that was exactly a rare thing, tho. :D
8) Have you ever met any #IndyCar drivers? Show us your pics and tell us your story.
