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

Motoo Fujiwara, lead singer/composer of Bump of Chicken.

He was good friends with a friend of mine so we went out to dinner and hung out in his apartment. He'd just turned down the offer to write an opening song for One Piece, because he'd never heard of it, and was regretting it immensely (as a consolation they did the ending of the 2003 movie).

Working in games I've worked with more famous people, like Tim Curry and Billy West, but never met any of them. Still cool to see your name in the same credits roll :D.
