I've had the very good fortune to meet Charles twice now, MaryAnn once. They are both wonderful people, and I had the most wonderful time with them.
I've also had the good fortune to meet:
Brian Froud--He was delightful, and the signing felt fairly 'personal', as there wasn't a huge crowd there, and he seemed to take his time, he wasn't in a big rush.
Diana Gabaldon--At a booksigning with a ton of people. She was very nice but you didn't really get to spend very much time with her because there were so many people there.
Sarah Bird--Lots of people there, yet the gathering felt intimate and friendly, and she spent a pretty good amount of time with each person who approached her to sign their book. She was super friendly and fun.
Charles Vess--He was really nice and friendly.
I also met George R.R. Martin twice, but I haven't read any of his books yet. ::grin:: His was one of the larger crowd signings, so the interaction with him was less personal. My friend Erin, who I went with and who was the one who really wanted to go, told me that I had to wait till he finished the series he's writing now, otherwise I'd be doomed to misery as she is, anxiously awaiting the next one.
I waited on Robert Redford once, long ago; he's one actor I do really admire. I gave him and his party bread and filled their water glasses, carried away plates, brought coffee. He seemed shorter and more lined than he seems up on the big screen, but his lovely voice is just the same in person. And he seemed nice, not like a diva. :-)
