Too many FAQ line questions stacking up: I'm getting close to the point where I'll do a massive answering of stuff, I think. You're more likely to get a question answered if it's actually a question, and if it's short, and if it's answerable, and if I feel like answering it.
Several people misread the last post, and assumed that I was saying that Paterson Joseph was the Doctor and I was somehow disappointed. No, I was saying that Matt Smith is the next Doctor and that Rich Johnston had somehow got it wrong.
The new, revamped WEIRD TALES is doing a bunch of stuff about me and Sandman on their website (and they have an interview in the next issue of the magazine). There's a nice description of what it was like backstage at The Graveyard Book reading in Seattle at http://weirdtales.net/wordpress/2009/01/02/neil-gaiman-an-appreciation/ by Lisa Mantchev.
And finally, if you go to Amanda Palmer's latest Blog entry http://blog.amandapalmer.net/post/68226761/very-many-lots-of-things and go about half way down, you will see a photo of me.*
I am convinced that it was taken at my comeback gig after I got out of prison.
Roy Orbison and Johnny Cash were hanging around backstage, playing Gin Rummy.
"Aren't you going to come and watch me sing?" I asked them.
"We've heard you sing," they said. "If you don't mind, we're playing a really exciting game of Gin Rummy here."
Only the fact that I do not sing in public and have not been in prison (other than as a visitor and novelist) makes me suspect that I'm making this up. I mean, the camera doesn't lie.
*The photo was taken by Pixie.
Labels: alternate universe me, fake Coraline box?, honestly it's a good thing I don't sing in public, I do the weird stuff.
