Larian, I thought that was you, but wasn’t certain. I was going to introduce my self but you got busy with the CDs and … I saw Liz’s pictures the other day which ID’ed you, so whoops, sorry about that. Anyway, I’m sure we’ll meet soon a future event.

Mr Marron, that was my initial impression as well. For me, it was the three arms and the eyepatch that caught my eye… and indeed, Paul and Storm are a couple of hoopy froods!

Dear Phil, I’m guessing that, since you didn’t mention it, you may have missed the distinct Zaphod Beeblebrox-iness of the Paul and Storm GeekAWeek card. I twigged to their jacket and scarves and checked a few stills from the original BBC ‘Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy’ to make sure…
So.. that dubious-looking drink in his/their hand would have to be a Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster!
Paul and Storm are described as Musical Comedy Duo/Galactic President – in HHGTTG, Zaphod was also briefly President of the Galaxy. I’m surprised it wasn’t mentioned in the interview. So, level with me here – did this Zaphod homage sneak past your astronomical-fiction radar?

2: My brush was with a true legend. Last year in April I got my photo with Leonard Nimoy (and my mom), which is now one of my greatest treasures.

The other cool thing is that at this year comic expo we’ll have Shatner. It is now imperative that I acquire tickets.

My brush with geek fame: I got to be Marian Call’s “roadie” when she played at Tommy Doyle’s in Harvard.

I’s still stalking you Dr. Plait!
