So I just published my first ever interview with someone who has even a tiny bit of fame. It was actually very easy to do. I sent her an email on her website introducing myself and asking her if she wouldn't mind answering a few questions for my website. Within fifteen minutes she had responded letting me know she would be happy to.

She was such a sweet lady, if you guys have any interest in thrillers or medical dramas, I suggest you check out her books on the Kindle store. Her newest one is actually on sale for $.99.

Do any of you have any neat experiences like this to share?

Hey, I even got John Romero to answer me a few questions once. He actually seemed like a very nice guy.

What does that guy do these days anyway.

Play Diakatana.

HE NEVER STOPPED BECAUSE IT NEVER ENDS

He makes social games with his girlfriend, apparently.

That is awesome. I read Masters of Doom recently, and it made me want to meet him and the rest of the original iD team.

That's a pretty good interview, Darth.

I guess the closest I've got to anything like this was when I sent an email to Frank Klepacki and got an answer. Woo!

I once saw John Malkovich walking around at the St. James Art Fair in Louisville, KY. I assume now that he was probably there during filming on Secretariat. He had on some odd clothing that I can only assume was his set costume. I don't really get starstruck so I just quietly pointed him out to my wife & continued walking in the opposite direction.

My wife waits on Jean-Louis Aubert, who is a rather big deal in France, quite often. She also saw Gerard Depardieu cruising around on his scooter in Paris a few weeks before his pissing incident.

I've never interviewed anyone because I'm not an interviewer.

I was spurred on by this interview and decided to reach out to someone a little bit more well known. I sent an email to Edward James Olmos (Admiral Adama in the new Battlestar Galactica series) introducing myself and asking if I could ask him a few questions. Five hours later I got a response from his assistant saying she forwarded my email to him, and he responded saying if I wanted to send over some questions he would try to answer them, but because he is so busy it might take him a little while. I can't wait to get them back!

In the rather narrow field of British entomology I've bumped into a few "famous" faces in the field. I'm always kinda awestruck when I meet someone who's written a work I refer to frequently. Learning from them directly is even better.
