I’ve seated Reggie Miller in a restaurant (and got him towels when he spilled his soup).
Um … climbed the fence surrounding the Theater of Dionysus in Athens to get a look at it because the gates were locked. (We were 17 and stuuuuuuuuupid!)
…has seen a cat whose tail was completely degloved, but was fine afterwards. (“fine” in this case being defined as “she lived another eight years and didn’t miss that tail much anyway”). Does anyone want me to describe what that looked like?
…has photos of himself with Dick Clark, Bert Ward (played Robin in the Batman TV series), Janis Ian Rock’n Rollen Stewart, and Lynne Truss, author of Eats, Shoots & Leaves.
…has interviewed B.B. King, Leo Kottke, Kirk Alyn, the original Superman of the Republic movie serials, the CEO of Sprint Nextel, Marv and Rindy Ross of Quarterflash, Arthur C. Clarke and Ursula K. LeGuin, among others. Made Ms. LeGuin laugh when I asked her why she’d nuked my Oregon town in “Lathe of Heaven.”
…had drinks with Gary Owens of Laugh-in fame, Peter Sumich of Austrailian Rules Football’s West Coast Eagles, and syndicated cartoonist Leigh Rubin.
…had blurbs published on the cover of several books.
