Whittle-Fest

Last night: Bill Whittle Live!
I had been looking forward to meeting Bill, of Eject! Eject! Eject!, who is by far the best writer I have ever met. (And I knew Frank Herbert [it was a friend-of-a-friend thing.] Bill is better, word for word.)
Bill couldn’t stay as long as we’d hoped. A work-related emergency (more in the nature of a disaster) hove into view, and he had to cut short — but the 9 of us (if I may be so bold as to speak for the rest of the folks there) had a great time talking about War, Celebrity, Courage, and the rest of Bill’s work. It was pretty neat to be able to give him feedback directly, and to offer my paltry thoughts and suggestions.
It wasn’t one man talking – it was a group, thinking out loud (though admittedly, most of us were listening far more than talking)… and I certainly didn’t stop thinking when I left for the drive home.
Here’s the gang:
Bill is, of course, the fellow on the right.
I’m the tall dopey-looking guy with the beard.
The perfectly rational-looking fellow front-row-center is Scott. I say rational looking, because he admitted to being one of my few regular readers – so there must be something wrong with him.
Hehehe.
