Oh, I so wish you had talked to him!

Maybe I could have asked him who his agent is? Oy, why do I always think of the good things a day AFTER the actual occurance?

The chance "So this author walked into a bar" story was a goodie. I get totally star-struck-itis around authors too. Not sure what you could have said that wouldn't have made you cringe with shame later on but...we've all been there! I bet Sebastian Junger has had his awkward moments as well.

pps I have never heard of this bar before but you've made me want to give it a try. I just checked out the website. Thanks for the heads-up.

That has to change.
