Because sometimes, just sometimes, Shaun Tan will randomly walk into my library while on his honeymoon.
That’s why.

NO WAY!!! wow…
That is all sorts of cool!
Yeah, well, it snowed a foot here yesterday. (Okay, you’re right. Not as cool.)
Actually, considering that it’s about to rain here in February, snow’s sounding pretty cool at the moment.
That is beyond cool!!!
But did you TALK to him?
Why didn’t you call and hold him there for three hours while I got into my car and speed demoned down there!
Dang.

You really do have a great life. Of course, you could come to Nashville and see Martina McBride and her daughters shopping at Davis Kidd Bookstore.
Wow! Do tell us what he said and did!
Actually, we talked quite a bit. He told me about the short film he’s working on and when it’s slated to be released. We talked about upcoming projects, whether or not he’ll be making a trip to Ellis Island this time around (he still hasn’t gone), and when he’ll next be in NYC. Just a lovely visit, really.
