Oooh, there was one really awesome thing that happened in 2005. I met my hero, Neil Gaiman, twice in one day. I asked him about Tori Amos and for the proper pronunciation of the Angel, Aziraphale from Good Omens. He read from Anansi Boys and told stories of working on Mirrormask at Jim Hensen's old home. He signed 4 of my books as well. At the end of the evening, after he re-filled his fountain pen and signed my last book (Marvel 1602), I wished him a good evening. He stopped what he was doing as though he were taken aback and gave me a very genuine smile, thanked me and wished me the same. It was as though no one else who had lined up had considered his enjoyment.

I'm sure he was taken aback. I think collectively, we've forgotten common courtesy.
I sigh sadly in agreement.
