It's good to know that some people still want to make a difference.

I got to meet and talk with Alton Brown at his book-signing for Feasting on Asphalt: The River Run, companion to the show Feasting on Asphalt.
I also got a picture of Buttercup, his BMW motorcycle.
He liked my shirt - apparently he's a fan too. What a cool guy.

Also recommend Louis C.K. - Shameless

Saw Icey again last night, despite the insane snowstorm. Last year it was ice.
He appreciated us risking life and limb to drive there, and put on a killer show. Naturally, I took a bunch of crappy videos..

I gave up on John Grisham a long time ago for being too predictably formulaic, but I was caught in a weak moment at the bestseller rack, in the mood for nothing heavy, and lured by the idea that his newest book was non-fiction.
It's fiction. The Author's Note at the end of the book is a dead giveaway, thanking his heroes for all of their input, and conveniently neglecting to gather any input from his villains.
