Four seats away ...






2011 Science Fiction Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony
EMP JBL Theater
June 24, 2011


So there I was at EMP in the JBL Theater for the SFM HOF ceremony. I realized that Harlan would not make it and was kind of bummed. Then, I realized I was FOUR seats away from Neil Gaiman and he was listed in the program as inducting Harlan ...

I got to watch him typing on his laptop ...

I seriously thought my son was going to get up and walk out, "You are being such a girl," he told me. However, he did not sell me out later when I lied to Neil about having seen his Doctor Who episode. Given that my son knows that I have never watched a single episode of any of the 11 doctors that was very nice of him and I probably owe him something for it.
