Neil Gaiman at Vromans in Pasadena this Saturday at 7:00 p.m.
 
Anyone want to go with me? Or, meet me there? He'll be discussing his new book Anansi Boys, followed by a signing.

I may be too shy to approach him for his autograph, but I have dreamt of hearing him speak in person. I was on a journey through fantastical lands on a quest to find a missing friend, and he came out of his home (which happened to be a Hobbit hole) and offered to share his maps with me. They were nice maps. He was wearing a black t-shirt, black jeans, and was barefoot. He was sweet and lovely and had a wonderful voice.

And now my dream can come true. If he doesn't offer me pretty maps, I'll be very disappointed, so best not to approach him at all. Just watch and listen.

Ah, Maps. So, that's what they call it nowadays.

Ah, c'mon. I realize I go all crush core on your asses from time to many time, but, really, sometimes a map is just a map! He was just trying to help me! And his help was all I wanted. Well, that and a cup of tea. I remember now that he served me tea, as well.

Dude, I love Vroman's. I'll see if I'm free, but I dunno. Only one more weekend until departure for NYC. So I'll figure it out and let you know. Probably will just stick my head out of the door and shout it across. Ah, I'm reminded again of the weirdness of communicating with one's cohabitational partner via message board.

EH1812, you know I'd go if I was there. Anything to see you melt under Gaiman's hotness factor. ;)

Looks like someone is taking a class in speaking like Jar Jar Binks!

Looks like I'm going alone. That's okay. No one should have to smell my nervous sweat.
