Neil Gaiman came to my tiny little town!

WetRats

And I've got tickets!

:D :D :D

Cool!

What's the occasion?

WetRats

Here's the poop.

It's a storytelling tour organized by the creator of The Moth, supporting independent booksellers in the South.

Sounds like fun. Checked the list and they aren't even coming to MS. But then MS has very very few indy bookstores. The county I live in has no bookstores at all.

I wonder if they will continue to add dates, perhaps heading into the mid south? I hope so. I am sure that you will have tons of fun though WetRats, I am appropriately jealous!

This appears to be the third tour the've done, each with a different mix of "raconteurs". This'll probably be the only one with Mr. Gaiman.

I met him years ago. It was the height of the Sandman craze and there was a long line of Goths waiting to meet him. Being the only person in line with a tan, business casual cloths and a lack of product in my hair, I felt a bit out of place.
Mr. Gaiman is a very nice man. He signed my Books of Magic and seemed very pleased to note that Charles Vess had already signed the issue he illustrated. Hope he comes back to town someday.

I got to hear Neil Gaiman speak twice this past weekend as part of the Unchained Tour.

Spoke to him briefly after the second show.

He could not be a nicer, more sincere guy.

His story the second day, about his relationship with his father, had me weeping.

And women from 13 to 70 were swooning over him.

If you're in the Charlotte or Charleston, SC areas, there are still tickets available. Don't miss!
