This was so awesome. Randomly, it was on Facebook that he was coming to my school, the University of Miami, to talk about Obama. I didn't go to class so I got there an hour early and was right in front. I took TONS of close pictures of him but he didn't sign there. I, and several people, had to follow him to the business school where he was being interviewed and wait for him to finish. Some people got pictures and autos through the first chasing but I didn't though I was next to him :/ So when he got out, they told he went a different way, but my friend is a Journalism major so she was there and knew the right way. I ran that way but he got into his car and I was soo upset, BUT he saw me begging through the window that I ran twice and couldn't even get my picture signed so he opened his window FOR ME and signed the picture I printed on photo paper :)

Yay, seriously through this college I shook Obama's hand (I'm retarted and didn't think I'd get so close so I didn't print a picture for him to sign - im still utterly pissed about this), was close up to Pharrell (but he was an ass and just quickly left after the concert with no signing or pix), and talked to Matt Damon. YAYYY

That's awesome! I love Matt. You are very lucky. I met him at a premier in Australia, and he was about to take my camera off me to take a pic with me when the security pulled him over to the press, he hesitated before going. When he came back he was a person down from me with his back to me so I missed out. i wanted to tap him on the shoulder, but I was worried the security would throw me out or something. But I got some very nice pics of him, so I wasn't 100% disappointed.

Aww wow!! Sounds like quite a successful day for you then! I'm sure you could have got Obama to sign the back of your photo of Matt thought! Or just a plain piece of paper :)

he spoke about Obama

Obama had a rally months before, where I volunteered, which is how I got so close in that case

and N.E.R.D. performed for homecoming...
