Bah!Alright, so I didn't MEET him but I think this deserves a mention.
Ernest Cline. If you haven't heard of him, he's a geek "spoken word artist"/poet/comedian person. Very funny, and I emailed him the following in dedication:

Possibly NSFW? It's got my barely identifiable nipple (the whole of which I cropped out in an attempt to make it more SFW), and yes, it's my right breast with a space invader on it.
I emailed it to him with a brief, but complimentary "I really like your stuff. Here's a pic of what I did for you."
Did I get a reply? Did I fuck. So, yeah, someone I respected and enjoyed as an entertainer has disappointed me.
Rant rant rant...
