So long, Scotty...

WWII veteran and Star Trek actor James Doohan dead at 85.

I had the fortune of meeting the gentleman a couple of times, a few years ago, for a few minutes each time. During our few minutes of conversation at Chiller Theatre, or our extended conversation at a comic book convention (where there was no line for him at all), he was the sweetest guy around. A more jovial and friendly guy you'll be hard pressed to find. His autobiography's not a bad read either, if you're a fan of the original series.

You beat me to the punch, and I found out from jenniever who probably read it in your journal. So you totally win.

I don't have THAT many celebrities in my gallery, it's really only from a couple of conventions.

I should go to more.

You should come to NYC.

I'll be in upstate for an as-yet-undetermined amount of time for a wedding next month.

I'll be sans car, though.

Woah, cool

What time next month? I've got plans early in the month (brother in town, wedding stuff, blah blah blah), and I'm uber-busy at work late in the month. Still, I might be able to drive up at some point.

I believe the wedding itself is on the 21st. We're still finalizing plans as to when we'll actually be there.

That's after my brother's gone and before training week at work, so I might be able to see you.

Keep me posted.

Don't forget that we have futons and fold-out couches and shit if you can make it down here, too.
