I wish w00tstock would tour Europe (well, I can hope). The Neil Gaiman-moment made me giggle. I've seen him a couple of times, reading his work, and he really is a perfect gentleman. And I second what people suggested about audio books read by himself, they are awesome. I like American Gods best of all his novels and the short stories are great as well - someone mentioned Chivalry, that one's hilarious. And speaking of awesome: the Tardis cake is made of it.

I just had to write down what he said about them: "It made me feel like a squirrel that's been injected with cocaine". I must note that Wil only had 1/4 of a standard size bar. They are awesome stuff, I need my fix. -Porter I was standing there when Wil was talking to Marie about her Jacked Up Java brownies. I just had to write down what he said about them:

He just seems like such a nice guy in addition to being a literary genius. I read an interview with him where he said he loves it when his fans forget their own names at book signings because then he doesn't feel so bad when he forgets his name when meeting his idols! I disagree with the people who are saying not to read American Gods or the Sandman books first. That was the first Gaiman book I ever picked up and it was done in a matter of days because I couldn't put it down even to sleep! It was magic! Then I went looking for other Gaiman works and the only other thing the store had in stock was the 1st Sandman graphic novel. I was completely addicted. I had to go to three stores in two towns to get them all, one each payday. I was heartbroken when I'd read them all, because I wanted the tales to go on forever.

He and his friends were pointed towards my husband and I when they checked in for TrueDungeon, and when he walked up to me, he said "Hi, I'm Wil" and held out his hand. I was a bit stunned, and well, my response was "Wha, yes you are, I'm Stephanie." *subdued squee* "My friend is going to be so jealous, she has been a huge fan of yours for years". After that mini geekgasm, though, it was totally normal, he and his buddies were just fellow gamers that my husband and I had been grouped with for some live-action dungeon-crawling. Wil did very well as a Bard :) Oh, Wil Wheaton introduces himself too, he did to me at least, and we were at the short-lived GenCon SoCal, no less, one of the Geeky of Geekyist places, and we were assigned to the same group for TrueDungeon (http://www.truedungeon.com).
