I met Weird Al Yankovic in 2016 at a Cal Poly alumni event put on by the journalism department. There was a fancy gala being held to celebrate the 100th anniversary of student media, and as someone who graduated with a journalism degree, I was invited. Tickets to this gala were expensive, so I originally was not planning on going, but I changed my mind as soon as I found out that Weird Al would be in attendance. (He was one of four alumni who were inducted into the Mustang Media Hall of Fame that night.) 

I met Allison Iraheta at the 2013 Midsate Fair in Paso Robles, California. My mom and I were attending an Adam Lambert concert there, and Allison was the opening act. After her set, she came out into the crowd to greet fans.
