I'm... not sure what this is, but it doesn't sound good. (For that matter, it doesn't sound as if it's legal in all 50 states...)

>waht do guys do?

I don't really know. I don't wander the outside world often (nor am I, I suspect, anything like famous)... the only time I can think of offhand that someone has specifically sought me out at a con and the like was a guy who wanted to tell me how much he hated Neon Exodus Evangelion and what a general waste of matter I was for having come up with it.

Well, no, I lie. There was also the guy who drove to Worcester from New Jersey just to get a look at Zoner and me. That was a long time ago, though, and I'm not sure whatever became of him. Eh, Geoff? :)

>as an aside...what author would you most want to meet

Tough call, that, if only because I don't particularly handle face-to-face meetings very well. I mean, you read The Professor and the Madman or Krakatoa: The Day the World Exploded and you think you'd really like to meet Simon Winchester, but then if you did, what would you say? Or you think it'd be cool to hang with Jeremy Clarkson, and then you remember that he hates Americans, particularly fat ones, so there goes that idea.

Overall, I think the safest course is to stick to the old maxim, "Never meet your heroes."
