Coolest Unique Things You've Ever Done?

[Callie]

I have so many, and thinking about each makes me smile
1.) Volunteered for Super Bowl week and scored a position inside the stadium on game day! Got to meet Kurt Warner and watch my NFC team win!
2.) Be driven around the Indianapolis Track at 150 MPH by NASCAR Driver Clint Bowyer!
3.) Meet the Backstreet Boys
4.) Get a picture with Jeff Gordon
5.) Be in a Disney Parade!

Yours?

I dont really have a very many but the ones that I did have involved meeting famous people lol. I met the American Idol season 8 contestants. it was one of the most awesome experiences ever imo. I got to give my favorite contestant at the time a gift i made for him and hugged me and talked to me for a bit. It was one of the best days of my life! Also this year, I got to go back stage after Winter Jam and meet some of the artists. They were some of the nicest people ever!

I saw the northern lights. Which is something cool since I lived in Florida most my life. It was nearly full color and lit up the whole night sky.

Can't say I've done anything that unique though.

I got to see it once, here in Northern California! It was late at night, but the sky behind one of our mountains was lit up, and it honestly looked a little terrifying. We called the non-emergency line and were told it was the Northern lights! The next day there were a bunch of articles about it in our papers. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience!

Swam with a wild Manta Ray in Tahiti- he just swam up to our deep over the water hut and wanted to play! It was so cool.

Another standout for me was one from work- We had a party at the Met(NYC) to celebrate the new Degas exhibit they had (which is funny because I worked in Finance but back then it was all a big show) It was in a room that I don't think they use anymore- it was full of water- with a little island in the middle- They lit up the water- and the views- oh man. It was a magical night.

1. My family got to be the Grand Marshals for the MK parade.
2. Went to the Wayne Brady Show and had my song title chosen for him to do an improv.
3. Did the WDW College Program
4. Worked for the Baltimore Orioles during Spring Training
5. Met Taboo from the Black Eyed Peas as we were both browsing in a record store.

Papal audience with JPII! And tour of private apartments, loggia, etc. at the Vatican.

Toured the back rooms of the Met (my brother worked there). Like, where antique swords were just laying around, that sort of thing.

Floor seats for the Bulls many times, including a championship game. (We were in front of Oprah!) And I've been to many World Series games, been on the field at Yankee Stadium, Fenway, Wrigley, MetLife (NY Giants), NFL Championship games (but never a Super Bowl.)

I was at the 1996 Olympics to see Kerri Strug & the team win. About 12 rows in front of Seinfeld and his girlfriend. (Which is how my dad always tells the story: "... and we had better seats than Einfelder!")

A zillion celebrity sightings and encounters, in bars/on the street/wherever - Jimmy Fallon at Siberia, Donald Trump at Le Cirque, Gwyneth Paltrow in front of my apt (who is the rudest person, like, ever), Jeff Goldblum, Jeter, A-Rod, Mariano Rivera, Lauren Bacall (in Hermes with her dog!), Michael Stipe at Halo, June Havoc with a goat, all kinds of random people.

Saw the Passion Play at Oberammergau. It's not unique, but it's pretty amazing. They have been performing it every 10 years since the 1600s, to thank God from saving their village from the Black Plague. This should be on everyone's bucket list, IMO (for Catholics, anyway.)

But I still have never scuba dived. I need to get cracking on that.

I ate a fried locust.

And more important, I didn't throw up, and even said "thanks, that was delicious" to the guy who offered it to me as a delicacy from his hometown.
