Steve Niles, Earthquake #1, loads of awesome

Hi team!

So there's a lot of new stuff to cover, though it may be on hold till i get some pictures. Needless to say two large events happened in the last 48 hrs or so. First off, we just had an earthquake which was really weird!?!?! I was sitting at my desk and then my equilibruim just went down the crapper and it was sorta confusing. It lasted about a minute and was done, but i was shaken up (for lack of a better term). Here's to hoping my apartment aint in shambles :)

Now on to the really important thing. I MET STEVE NILES!!!!!!!!! The dude who wrote 30 days of night, criminal macabre, etc. I was buying a book at comicon and turned around and was like "oh.... shite.... that's him!!" So Evan forced me to not run away and then i got my picture taken with him. But, me being the foolish fanboy that i am, got a hold of the camera to take his and Evan's pic and i couldn't stop shaking! so weird, but the craziest adrenaline rush, and to top it all off, He is a super cool guy :) he was really patient with my foolishness and talked briefly with us about writing. one of the top 5 moments of my life, as i sit and try to imagine them now. so here i am blabbering about it again (sorry).

anyway, yes i am a completely dorky fanboy and i love it. hopefully if i meet him again i can actually talk like a normal human, but who knows. so... there's the skinny for now. my mind is runnin all over the place b/c of these two awesome things that happened, but rest assured i will be adding more to this in the near future. and hopefully some awesome comicon pics as well. hope you're all well.

Take care!

Very cool stuff!

I've never had a moment like that with someone I hugely admire. But if I ever get to meet Annie Dillard, I'll probably be just like that... with maybe more drooling or kissing the ground she walks on or something.
