He’s quite the musical geek! His presentation was interrupted by a fire alarm, which was caused by the gas-line break. We all met up, in a semi-organized fashion, at a food court in the Children’s Museum a block away - and an hour after the disruption, were redirected to McCaw Hall around the corner at the Seattle Center. Major kudos to the Summit organizers for making sweet lemonade out of lemons. Derek K. Miller took tons of excellent photos!

Maybe you dont want to meet an oddball like me, but hey the way I look at it is: If Im going to have a poster of you shirtless on my wall at home I think that we should at least have met!

It just so happens I was at that very place on vacation literally a day before you! I might have been able to meet one of my favorite musicians of all time purely by accident, while on vacation! That would have really been something. first time to go on vacation on my own and first time to go to Washington and first time to meet Thomas Dolby. Oh well maybe next time : ) Too my great Chagrine I only just now found out you were at the EMP. It just so happens I was at that very place on vacation literally a day before you!

Been a few years since seeing it. I don’t have that anniversary edition, but might have to check it out now that you mention it. “Have you procured the 20th anniversary DVD just out last month?”

I should have the rest of the sessions, including Thomas's talk, posted through the week -- the audio is a bit frightful because of our quick move to a new venue and my teeny iPod recording setup, so I have to do a bit of post-processing to make it listenable.

"Withnail & I" came out during my time in London. I got a free pass from "Time Out" and went to see it with a friend (who still quotes it in e-mails to me.) I was stuck in some miserable Russian class production of "The Cherry Orchard" at the time, so I laughed very loud at this line, which has stayed with me: "I loathe those Russian plays. Always full of women staring out of windows, whining about ducks going to Moscow!" So true. ;) Have you procured the 20th anniversary DVD just out last month? Ah!
