My wife, her parents and I went to The Daily Show in New York, and before the show he asked the audience if they had any questions. This was 2 days before my wedding, so when he called on me I invited him to my wedding!

How I met Lewis Black

I saw Lewis Black at Cody’s in San Francisco at a book signing. I asked him “What makes you the most pissed off?” and he replied seriously, leaders who don’t know how to lead and delegate, and rich people who think they can do anything they want.

I saw Bruce Sterling at Stacey’s books in San Francisco, and he gave a reading and talk about his book The Zenith Angle. We started talking about blogs, and he took my picture and posted it on his Wired Blog!

The first time I met William Gibson was at a Tower Records in Concord, reading from Neuromancer. He signed my 10th anniversary edition (this was 1994), and even signed a copy of 2600!
