Neil Gaiman at Vromans in Pasadena this Saturday at 7:00 p.m.

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

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.
