Lastly, I would make sure I had a photo of the occasion to remember it always!
On the other hand, when I have in fact met people that I admire very much I usually turn into a gibbering fool. I usually mumble something silly and worry that I will blurt out something inappropriate. I met my favorite author Harlan Ellison (SF, sadly not many people have heard of him) about 15 years ago and I could scarcely put a coherant pair of words together. I did finally ask him for a photo with him, at which time he put his arm around me and told me to put my hand on his knee for the photo. In the pic I ended up smiling like a total goon (I was 19, I was a goon!), but the memory of that still brings a smile to my face and makes me feel happy inside.

What a great story Sherrie :)
When I knew I was going to meet Meat the first time (in 2001), I had so many things I wanted to tell him (in my mind anyway ...
). But when he walked into the room, my mind went completely blank and I couldn't say two words !
So when I found out I was going to see him again last year, I was determined not to let that happen again. I had it all played out in my mind .. but as soon as he walked in the room, I almost went completely blank again
Thankfully I rememberd my name, but when I handed him the Texas flag that I had brought from my parent's store, all I could say was "this is for you" and forgot to tell him what it was
Luckily he handed it to Debra, so I told her what it was. Then when he happened to be standing there, I mentioned it to him and that was when he said it was "Cool".
I also got a big hug and thankfully my camera worked so I got a great picture of us that I'll cherish forever !
