a day for famous peeps

We just got an order from Hermann Hesse! The Nobel Prize in Literature winning dead author of Siddhartha. A book which I have now put in my queue to read for my book club.

Also today, I nearly met Michael Moore. He's in SF to give free lunch and a talk about his upcoming movie, Capitalism: A Love Story. A movie which I will be seeing the day after it comes out because the day it comes out I'm working and then doing my 5K.

Thanks Jen, for sending me the link. I went to see him but sat in the nice sun for a while, enjoying my soy chai and banana (with cinnamon) but nothing was happening except the free food and fun music, people sitting around waiting. My lunch time was ticking away and I was about to go when I saw him to my right just standing with a small crowd so I went over with Kean's I ♥ NY onesie (since I'm sending it soon I had it with me) and a black marker (which I took with my brilliant plan to get an autograph for Kean).

He was talking with some guy (one of his people) and then said, Ok, who wanted a photograph, and these 2 ladies jumped in but their camera failed and in the mean time he started sort of sailing slowly away and talking again with his person, and since it was time for him to be going up and I didn't want to interrupt, I left. He went to the center and was swallowed up by a big crowd. Disappointing for Kean's onesie but still fun!

Then I had to go cuz lunch was over.

So I was literally THIS CLOSE to getting an autograph on Kean's onesie. Kean, I send my apologies. My only consolation is that you are growing up in Traverse City. Nuff said.
