The only time I've ever gotten a sig was from Michael Stackpole at GenCon. And that was DH's book. I like MS's non-Battletech books (not into it like DH is) but did this favor for DH, since he was busy Battletech gaming at the time. Very nice man. I attended his lectures later that day and, while he didn't add much to what I already knew, he organized the information in a way I hadn't considered and was quite entertaining to listen to also.
He made a big impression on me of how to act among fans--don't expect anything and treat people like...well...people. They're all just people too.
A certain older celebrity's MIL lives in my town. I had to do a double take in the grocery store parking lot when I saw him with her and his wife. I couldn't believe it, but didn't want to stare either and be impolite. I had no inclination to ask for an autograph but thought it cool just to see someone of his status in this area doing ordinary everyday errands.
