A few other things about AX 2010

Aug 02, 2010 23:57

No pics for this one but a couple of other things I almost forgot...

I was surprised to come across Peter S. Beagle in a booth in the (absolutely huge, so big we only it made it down two aisles) Vendor's room, selling books; I guess a new edition of The Last Unicorn is coming out soon and they were taking pre-orders for it. He looked dead tired ( Read more... )

I loved The Last Unicorn, but A Fine and Private Place didn't grab me at all. I couldn't finish it. The Rhinocerus Who Quoted Nietchze had some great things in it. My favorite was Come Lady Death. I borrowed the copy of that book that I read but I'll probably buy one just for that story.

Well, it's been a really long time since I read that one, so it could be I might pick it up again and have a different opinion, but I liked it at the time. Glad the one I did buy has a good recommendation.

I was just a little surprised to just happen upon him at an anime con - I had no idea he'd be there.

Cool on the Peter Beagle part. I know I read both books, most likely your copies. Don't remember anything about them though. Had to have been over 15x2yrs ago. (Thought that the equation looked better then the acctual number..)

I read somewhere else he wrote A Fine and Private Place when he was 19. He's now in his early 70s, so I guess he's getting a lot of mileage out of it. It was a little sad to see him sitting there behind his piles of books, looking so tired, but I'm sure events like that take a lot out of you.

He really did seem shocked I wasn't signing up for the Last Unicorn, because I'm sure that's what most everyone else there was squealing over (a movie that did him very little good).

New Trigun film?! alestrel August 9 2010, 23:06:42 UTC

Me too! I was kicking myself we missed it - didn't realize it was something new until after we got home and I looked at the schedule a little closer.

I haven't actually gotten a good look at the trailer myself - internets seem to be damn slow lately...

And I realize I need to add another bullet to this post that I forgot...
