Last night I had the honor and pleasure of not only attending a Neil Gaiman lecture and reading, but I also got a chance to shake hands and briefly meet him.For those of you who don't know who Neil Gaiman is ("Stardust," "American Gods" and "Coraline"), get to a book store right now and pick up some of his stuff. The book to the right here may be my favorite of his.
During our short discussion we talked about his living just outside of the Twin Cities, Douglas Adams and that the last lecture-type event I had attended was for Graham Chapman before he died way back when I was in college. I also made sure to thank him for making the trip.
During the Q&A part of the night at the Bama Theater he let on that there will be two more Stardust-related stories in the future, he does color-coordinate his wardrobe (all black) and is advice to aspiring writers is to do just that, write.
Incredibly nice guy. Very annoying (yes, that's a joke).
