Sorry, I've just lost a lot of respect for Neil Gaiman. Especially if it wasn't his church/religion, if he was a guest... I'm no Bible-thumper but that's ridiculously disrespectful, I don't care whose house of worship he's a guest at.
Far, far less than noteworthy were Amy Tan & Olympia Dukakis -- ugh, they can keep each other company somewhere else.
Hillary Clinton was AWESOME in person, and I'm not just saying that b/c I'm preaching to the choir here.
Nicholas Evans (The Horse Whisperer, The Loop, etc.) was also fabulous; engaging speaker, genuinely pleasant, friendly, accessible.
Dave Barry was another joy, just as funny in person!! Ridley Pearson seemed sweet, quieter, great combination
Isaac Asimov was another huge priviledge, many years ago. Down-to-earth (no pun), seemed kind as well as brilliant. Wish he was still around.
