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

    Hayden Panettiere, at the time I was an intern at a recording studio and lionsgate came in and filmed some studio scenes for the show Nashville at our place. Hayden walked in and was looking at this big fish tank that was by the front entry. I honestly had no idea who she was and started talked to her as she asked what type of fish our bright orange parrot fish was. After that she walked off to go get ready. I googled who was on the show later that night as I am totally aloof on anything on TV and actors/actresses in general didn’t realize till then I met her. She is really short, pretty and seemed nice.

    Looking back my favorite part of that day was the craft food services truck(s) ulimited redbull and snacks. Also one of the camera guys I chatted up and learned he had done some work on Lord of the Rings, which I thought was really cool.
