Pfft! Larry Send a noteboard - 06/09/2009 07:54:39 AM


The winner - discounting Joe and Chris as they're more friends now than professional acquaintences - is probably Scott Bakker, simply because me and my mate were the last two people in line and got to chat with him for about 45 minutes whilst he signed backstock for Forbidden Planet. Very funny guy (he made a number of unrepeatable personal comments about Larry's personal hygiene, although oddly not until I mentioned certain blogs which had made certain comparisons to members of Air Supply ;) ). Best bit was the 20-minute diatribe when he went off on one about how Terry Goodkind's idol Ayn Rand was a total lunatic and why, among philosophy professors, Objectivism is regarded as a laughing stock pretty much everywhere.


He's just jealous that I could make my farts truly smell like roses :P In fact, he should be told that, just to see what his reaction would be ><img class=' />

Who's the coolest author you've ever met in person, and what did you talk to them about? Bryce - 05/09/2009 10:48:29 AM 895 Views
Neil Gaiman. I asked him what comic books to read apart from his & Alan Moore's. Tim - 05/09/2009 12:03:33 PM 638 Views
