For me it was Jeff Kinney. I was meeting a different author I love, but there wasn’t enough room downstairs and we had to go up. Turns out that’s exactly where Jeff Kinney works! He’s the author who got me into reading so I thought that was so cool
It was backstage at a concert, we were the very small local band and they (Die Toten Hosen) were the main act and technically I met them but they were shielded from us until they went on stage and had to go through the place we had our backstage together with the second band (Donots).
The Donots guys were very cool, we played football together in the evening, they gave us beer they had with them because they knew that catering for the other bands is shitty when you play with Die Toten Hosen and we drank together, awesome time.
Met Arthur C. Clarke in 1997 in his house near Colombo, Sri Lanka… A friend of my dad organised the meeting…when we arrived Mr Clarke was sitting in his office watching one of the first Mars rover landings live on CNN…a moment and coincidence which i was only able to understand many years later…

Unfortunately, it’s just a marionette of OpenAI, not a self-sustaining person.
I’ve been to Garth Brooks’ house.
I was next to Al Sharpton at the airport in DC once. I didn’t meet him, though. I was too tired to try to strike up a conversation. He is VERY short. You don’t really see that on TV.
