This is the story (in his own words) of how Grant Kirkhope, who is now composing the music to Mario x Rabbids, met industry legend Shigeru Miyamoto:

It was when E3 had moved to Atlanta [1997]. Nintendo had a party in a museum, and we all got hideously drunk. I saw [Rare founder] Tim Stamper talking to Miyamoto, and I introduced myself as the composer of Banjo-Kazooie, totally drunk. He just looked at me with the blankest expression, he couldn’t tell what I was saying. A while later, I was in the bathroom—and this is embarrassing—I was trying to pull down [Donkey Kong 64 designer] George Andreas’ trousers for a joke. I was on my knees and I looked up to see Miyamoto staring down at me. That was the last time I spoke to him.

There's something very British about this that I can relate to, kind of like embarrassing yourself in front of your boss at the work Christmas do.
