On being a star fucker
I'm probably going to catch a lot of flack for this from my guy friends, but what the hell... I'm in Austin this week for spring break and to catch some SXSW free shows, and I'm starting the week of by meeting the a pair of my blogging heroes, the Blurbo-doocery.
Heather (aka dooce) has got a veritable mob of adoring fans out there, most of whom are in Halcyon right now it seems. I met her and Jon early before the crowd really got here, but i didn't get a chance to get a picture or anything yet. They're both incredibly warm and nice people, and to wait through the line of individuals wanting to just get a chance to shake their hand, they've got to be patient as hell. They seem to be kind of taken aback by the fuss, although I'm sure they knew it was coming.
Heather's blog is different from those I usually read because its not really about anything in particular, except their life and family. They've got an adorable 2-year old and dog, and its really interesting for me to read about a family that isn't dysfunctional as hell. Heather's got a really unique perspective on life and her writing style is articulate and indisputably funny. I wish I could write half as well or prolificly as she does.
Contrary to what you might expect, its not an estrogen-laden chickfest (although I'll admit, most of her fans are women). I highly recommend adding it to your daily read.

i am jealous
Very cool meeting you this afternoon Keith. I love the fact that you know that "hunting virgins" isn't as dirty as it sounds. There is no way around the phrase "I get mice drunk" though. Enjoy your spring break!
I envy you so much right now. I live in Houston and wanted to get to Austin for the meet and greet, but I couldn't get out of work for the day. I only hope Heather makes it to Houston one day.
