Something tells me someone took your innocence years ago.

Honestly, I should just start a "Snowball's Chance In Hell of Meeting Stephen Donaldson" thread for the rest of us.

Just being a grump, Covenant. Glad you got to meet SRD!

SEA! You have NEVER met him? In person? I can't believe that.

Post by **Seareach** » Wed Jun 13, 2007 11:51 pm

No. I haven't. And, well, it's probably unlikely I ever will

One day. Perhaps.

If it comes to pass (if I get to meet him) then I'll be grateful for the opportunity. If it doesn't I won't regret it. It doesn't really matter to me that much anymore. And most of you will think I'm crazy for saying that, but...well...

The Gods smile down on me...and I smile back at them.

Hi All, just to bring this Thread back to where I started it, as I am
off work today and not doing much right now, I have located my Hard Back copy of Forbidden Knowledge.
This is what Mr Donaldson wrote for me as Saltheart....

To/ Andy (I was younger at the time) Joy Is In The Ears That Hear"

I've met him twice. The first time was the the 2004 Eloimfest and I met him again at Bubonicon... I think 2005? I just wish I didn't turn into a babbling idiot. I've met all kinds of people... sports starts, actors, etc (I met Sylvester McCoy who was the 7th Dr. Who) and I do not get weird at all. Around him, though, I get all nervous which is so not me. How do you tell the guy that he was the only adult that I could relate to and look to the books for guidance without weirding him out?

I was the same way this year at E'fest. I sat down with him to have my books signed and simply could not think of a thing to say. What a goober ...

Sydney was on the list of prospective WFC locations the other year. But it didn't work out. I was SO bummed! I'm sure it will work out one of these days!

Oh, I talked to him alright. The trouble was I had so many things I wanted to say, but did not want to sound like a character from a cheesy Stephen King novel. Like I was going to trap him in a cabin somewhere and make him write TC forever or something. I have very few people that quilfy as a role model... infact most of my childhood role models are no longer role models. I see them for the flawed people they are, good people, but no better than I. I am too freakin nervous to talk to him enough to get to that point and that so totally NOT me.

i met srd when he came out for the filming of fbh. i cooked dinner for the filming and jenn's birthday; i can't for the life of me remember the menu. it was lots of fun. i remember he apoligized for stabbing me so hard when his character killed mine. i was like, "no big deal, steve.", although i did have a nice bruise for a few days. of course i totally wanted to dork out, and praise him for the stories, have deep conversations about hope vs. dispair ,but he being out of his element and surrounded by strangers i thought it best not to so we just smoked and drank port.
hell of a nice guy.

Well, Donaldson didn't drink any port.
