Last night was most excellent! mekkavandexter, nerf, faeryechos and myself went to see William Gibson at the Vertigo Theatre!

This was easily right up there with meeting Blixa Bargeld for me. I have waited for this moment since my early teens. No one has shattered more paradigms or fed more of my dreams than this man. It is a given to say that I wouldn't have developed even

I am glad I got this photo too. And another or two. Should have asked him out for beer or something, heh.

I think you have to be truly techno-phobic to find utter darkness in William's books. There wouldn't be much in the way of plotting without struggle somewhere, but everything always balances. The technology is backdrop for all things human; and yes, I'm including the AI in that statement.

eee. I am even more jealous than before. But I think he's at another event on ... the 20th or somewhere shortly thereafter? so I'm gonna try to work some mojo and go see him then.

I didn't know there was another event? I'll have to Google it and probably see about attending that one as well if it exists.

Well I'll have to write you, it's been a looong while. You could always write me? That would be sweet.
