I've spoken to Tyson Ritter online before! LONG story... Wow, I can't believe the dude had nothing to say. Sucks, but at least u got to talk to him! Makes excellent party ice breakers!
Well, keep in mind that he probably didn't know what all to say to you, either. I met Adam Carson once, and I tried talking to him, but I was just too nervous, and I'm sure he didn't quite know how to get around that. It was just easier to sign my program and take a picture than to keep talking. XD
I've talked to some authors before, but that's about it. =) The ones I've talked to were really nice, and talked about pretty much anything. It was great. I'll have to dig up their e-mails again,.. Haha.
