Bagpuss;

apparently Gaiman is known for being very friendly and a regular guy. He came to Boston to do a reading benefit for the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. I got to hang with him beforehand because I was doing an article, and he signed my copy of "Neverwhere" and posed for a pic with me. Later he was at a reception at a local pub where he signed peoples' books and talked with them; he even drew a great picture on one guy's leather jacket!

He is a great reader and very nice; I hope I can hear him read again some day.
