Why I want to meet Cory Doctorow

Alright, I have to admit I’m a little uneasy about the whole wanting to meet a celebrity thing. However, I do really like Cory Doctorow’s stories and novels—I listen to his excellent podcast. Also, he sounds like a genuinely nice guy. Plus, of all the famous people I can think of, he seems like one whom I might encounter in a non-awkward situation, say, in some EFF or geek-related context.

Plus, I know from looking at Flickr photos (I happened to be looking through those with the “Zeitgeist” tag) that he was hanging out at Zeitgeist once. Although I don’t go there very often (good daddies don’t spend a lot of time in bars), I do occasionally. Who knows, we might get a sitter, go to Zeitgeist, and Cory Doctorow would be there—hey, it could happen.

I almost met Cory today

I was in the same room as Cory Doctorow, at the San Francisco launching of his new short story collection. Unfortunately, they ran out of copies of Overclocked and I didn’t think he would sign my Treo (on which I read his novels).

Good Q&A session, nonetheless. It, and the burrito from Papalote, were well worth biking to the Mission in the rain this evening.
