yeah, i think you'd mentioned being at that talk. weird weird small-worldness.

also -- i think Gaiman's doing a reading in October at Cody's, and possibly another one at Kepler's down in the south bay. interested in going? it's $10 for tickets, which then gets you a discount of some sort on the hardback of his new book. i don't normally buy new books, especially expensive hardback copies, but i've enjoyed his readings before and it might be fun.
