I was stranded at a Dead show 1000miles from home and managed to get rescued - I got a ride right to my front door by a stranger with a Pontiac hearse. Never saw him again, but 2 weeks later the same stranger rescued my parents who's boating trip had been stranded in the middle of nowhere by a storm. Hundreds of miles away. Impossible but true.

Ok, I know a guy who would do this type of thing, and drove that vehicle. Was it normal in color or painted with a band name on it? Do you remember anything else?

I used to fly for a company I worked for. On my return trip my batteries died on my tablet right as we were taking off from the ground. A complete stranger next to me (Dad in his late 30's probably) Was totally cool to me, talked to me for a while then he shared one of his earbuds with me and let me watch an entire movie with him. Some movie about the White Sox's rigging a world series I think. Then we talked for a while about his wife and his newborn child at home. Where he was from, I was from, etc etc.. It was just a really cool experience with a really polite and awesome stranger.

I was leaving a hotel in downtown to hop a bus home. Halfway down the block, this woman comes racing down the sidewalk yelling and trying to get my attention. This is 9:30 on a Saturday morning, in a mostly business part of the city (no clubs or bars except at the hotel).
I stop thinking she wants to bum a cig. She runs up to me and says: "Do you have 10 minutes? We are suppose to be getting married right now and forgot to bring witnesses! Please say you will help me."
And so I did. That was more than a decade ago and I no longer recall their names.

The courthouse was across the street, but it was empty for the most part. They were the last in line on Friday evening, but an emergency came up with the judge, so he promised to show up the next morning, even though it was a weekend, and get it done so they could go on their honeymoon later that day. They had witnesses on Friday, but overlooked them for the following morning. This is when only business men and medical staff had mobile phones.

There's a hostel in Leadville Colorado where year after year I met the most interesting people. They're right at the intersection of a lot of adventures: Leadville 100 ultramarathon and mtn bike race, continental divide trail, colorado trail, Race Across America (continous bike race), rock climbers, mountaineers, etc, etc. Just about everyone there had incredible stories to tell. Also the owner, "wild bill," is also a heck of a character.

I had something I needed to give to my sister but I could not find her so I thought that I could give it to her best friend to pass it on later. I ran up to this girl who I thought was my sister's friend saying "Caitlin Caitlin Caitlin where's Katie?" And the girl turned out not to be Caitlin. Upon realising I said "oh crap sorry" and ran away, fast.

Some guy I met at a bad religion concert, he asked me for a cigarette than asked me if they searched people at the gate, turns out he had four beers stuffed in his boxers. I followed him to the gates, he walked so slow and looked like a penguin with a stick up his ass. Funniest thing ever.

A girlfriend of mine was outside smoking at work. A man came up to her asking for a cigarette. After she explained that she didn't have anymore on her, he took the one from her hand and walked away b

I was at the Hollywood Music Media Awards back in 2010, it was cool to be brushing shoulders with some celebrities, it was a red carpet kind of deal for independent artists. Anyway, met 3 people my age who were there just doing some photography work and we struck up a conversation then they suggested we take a trip down to the parkade to smoke out their car. Afterwards they invited my buddy and I back to their place in Malibu to party. All in all a great night. Never even got their names :)
