• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Ever meet someone famous?

Today I met James Gurney (the creator/illustrator of Dinotopia) and got his autograph.

I never actually read Dinotopia as a kid though. :v;
 
Well the Dallas Brass came to my high school and did a performance (and my band class did a song with them) and everyone in my band plus some kids who weren't ended up getting posters that we could go around and get signed by the guys after the show, so I've got that poster pinned to my wall.

My parents worked at the same newspaper as and knew Mitch Albom okay, although I never personally met him because we moved away from the place when I was six.

My dad is friends with Charles Bock and I actually managed to get an e-mail interview with him for a research paper I wrote in 2009. (His interview ended up being the most-used resource in the paper.)

I've also met Vicky Holmes, the main force behind the Warriors series, twice at book signings, and apparently I had enough of a presence to have my character's name worked into one of the books.

One of my dad's friends from high school is now the mayor of Ocean Springs, Mississippi.

My pre-calculus teacher used to be part of the rock band Honeychild. He once gave an explanation for why he gave up the rock band in order to teach high school pre-calculus but I don't remember what he said, because I was too busy gawking at the fact that he was in a rock band at all to pay attention.
 
Got to meet Christopher Ayres at Oni-Con (DBZ Kai: Frieza's voice actor). I also saw some reviewer girl from the That Guy With the Glasses website (I think her name is Mars Girl or something).
