I just got back from his lecture in Portland -- is he the coolest or what?
I haven't laughed so hard at a literary event since Guts.
Anyway, in the program was a card to ask the speaker a question. He read mine: What question have you never been asked but you'd like someone to?
He just stared at the card for a few moments, then at the audience for a few more, laughed and said, "I don't know." Someone in the front row shouted that someone stumped him and he said, "This is surreal." Hehe, I'm surreal!
He gave it more thought, and said, "Nobody's ever asked what color underwear I have on." So, of course someone had to shout it out (not me, I was grinning to hard). He said he didn't remember.
Just had to share. If I had a Christmas letter, this would go in! Maybe I'll start a new tradition -- it's been a helluva year so far!
Hehe, I stumped Stephen King! He's only been my favorite author since, oh, 1979? Maybe '78, I was in Jr. High.
