Good timing
Last Friday my friend Susie let me borrow the book Trans-Sister Radio. I took it with me when I went to stay with sneskid for the weekend. Saturday we met up with Angelique at Tysons to have lunch and see Coraline in 3-D.
The only thing I'll get at the food court there is Bulgogi from Taka Grille. Granted I always think of blackjackie999 teasing Edokun and me but yours is still the best :) IF ANYONE knows where I can find Korean food locally I will be very happy. Google "Bulgogi in Staunton VA" without quotes and this journal is the second link. orz... I think maybe Harrisonburg or Charlottesville will be my best bets..
Back to the point. The three of us are walking into B&N when I see a special events poster saying that Chris Bohjalian will talk about Skeletons at the Feast on 2/11 at 7pm. I stare thinking the name is SO familiar, finally I find his books and Trans-Sister Radio is right there staring back saying, "UH DUH." At this point a series of events are being put into motion in my mind.. I called work to check my hours. 5:30a-11:30a Wednesday and back in at 10:30a Thursday.
Yes I drove to Tysons and back in one day to get a man's autograph. Chris is a really nice guy. I messaged him on Facebook to tell him how Susie received it and he friended me before sending a modest reply.
Totally worth it to see Susie's reaction when I met her at the Visualite to see Milk this past Saturday. Yes I know that was Valentine's day, and no it wasn't a date.
