ALSO: Who have you embarrassed yourself before, should you be the type to meet these folks on occasion? (Not in the question title, for the sake of snappiness.)
ME:
JAIME HERNANDEZ WALT SIMONSON GRANT MORRISON PETER MILLIGAN and JACK CHICK (obviously) and probably a few others I can't think of at the moment.
How about you? GO NOW!

That should be "Whom would you embarrass yourself before, should you ever meet?"
God, I'm an idiot.

Jaime Hernandez is a swell guy, I'm sure you'd be okay there. I did a phone interview with him once -- he's very gregarious and un-shy for somebody in the comics biz.
On the other hand, I once interviewed Dave Sim by fax, and although I've seen him at a lot of Toronto comic events, I've always been too embarrassed to approach him.
I think if I met Grant Morrison, I'd have to tell him about winning a WH Smith young fiction prize in 1990 by plagiarising Animal Man 26.

Take a look at LANARK by Alasdair Gray to see where Morrison took his inspiration for ANIMAL MAN 26.

Before whom would you embarrass yourself
I've already embarrassed myself before: Frank Miller - Brief douchey handshake (I was the douche, which puts things into perspective) with the man telling him that DKR was solely responsible for getting me into comics.
BKVaughan - Numerous occasions when I tried to play it "cool."

I should just never meet people creators.

My friend Becca (who may or may not be in some way associated with Robert Rodriguez - I've no interest in name dropping (and yet I just did!)) once recounted to me a highly amusing LOST IN TRANSLATION-ish anecdote set in a European hotel wherein she was the Sofia Coppola-analogue and Frank Miller played the Bill Murray role. Fun stuff.

I might embarrass myself in front of 3layn3 W3chsler-Ch4put R1ggs if I ever meet her but not for the reasons intended by this thread.

Wait! I meant 25. The one with the monkey, not the one with Grant.

roffle...I have been hugged by this person and will not be again.

Mark Gruenwald, but mostly because I'd be freaking out over either his resurrection or my death.
