This happened to me once, except replace Rasheed Wallace with Crispin Freeman. A pretty well-known anime voice-over(Now at least), no surprise he would be in the anime section. Too bad I don't remember what he bought. He was pretty likable, and I got him to do a few voice impressions. Wasn't as professional when just in person though, just shows how hard VA's have it.

Hahaha. That part is hilarious. Too bad you didn't get to ask him any questions, or get his autograph.

That's a nice experience. 
It's probably better that you didn't tarnish a friendly chance meeting by bombarding him with a bunch of questions.

That's so cool.
I'm glad you didn't ask for his autograph or take his picture... He's probably happy just to have someone say 'hi' and give him a thumbs up for his hard work.
You're seriously lucky. ^.^

I'm guessing it's meant to sound like that. Sort of like if I were to say "Man, I'd kill for the Nobel Peace Prize!"
On-topic, I came into here thinking you were just gonna spout some bullsh*t story, but this is actually very believable. Also, you are one unintentionally hilarious dude.

This made me laugh. I don't doubt that you met sakurai, but what if you just met a very polite japanese guy who had no idea what you were talking about? lol

I was really expecting some absurd joke topic, but this seems really genuine. Kudos on meeting Sakurai. I chuckled to myself (it's about 2 am right now) when I read the Kirby thing.

Grats, you should treasure this because it's game developer and creator of a popular series and now a very hyped game.

Cool man, cool.
Don't worry about not asking about downloadable content, I'm sure they wouldn't have said anything about it.

Also, that story is so cute! I want to put it in my pocket and never let it out.
