Dan, whee!

OK, so, Dan Radcliffe, as you may know, was the featured guest in the latest installment of the New York Times interview series 'TimesTalks'. I was lucky enough to be able to attend - and I mean lucky! Apparently this one sold out faster than any other

A very good report! One of my on-line acquaintances was also at the Q and A, and you've covered everything very well.

The "overly enthusiastic types" in the front were mentioned. Were they very young? Did Dan seem uncomfortable with them?

Thanks for sharing your experience. I really enjoyed reading this. :-)

Were they very young? Did Dan seem uncomfortable with them?

Not really, no. Most were probably late teens/early twenties, and another chunk was more middle-aged. Dan seemed to genuinely enjoy it when he would ponder things out loud & they would provide the answers for him. One gave him a DVD (I think) of something to do with Wizard Rock, and another gave him a flyer for some kind of club/venue he had heard about that he thought sounded cool. At the very end, as soon as he stood up, they all rushed to the bottom of the stage & stuck things out for him to autograph, which he automatically did. That was the only time they got a little bit worked up. LOL.

glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you!

Hee, for someone who can't tie his shoelaces, he thinks fast on his feet! Er, arse, in this case :) I like your bolding.

Thanks a million -- you're very old hand at this, I dunno what you were worried about! ^^

Dan was wonderful, as usual. No underwear was tossed during the whole thing? My, you all were a polite bunch, ha ha.

PS - Where are the other 3946 bullets?

[letmypidgeonsgo]

OK, so I lied about the bullets!

Ha, no underwear! I had a moment of panic when I realised they were doing unscreened Q&A, but it all worked out.
