Celebrity Encounters!
Great haiku, all-- so many celebrity encounters!
This one from Campbell (pictured above with said celebrity) was awesome:
Met Alex Trebek
Exactly what you’d expect
Gracious, smart, funny

I fulfilled a lifelong dream

I also loved this one from IPLawGuy (who was, uh, shopping for hats?):
