Neil Gaiman News

Our pal Neil Gaiman is at this moment flying from Seattle to Los Angeles — no thanks to Delta Airlines, which cancelled his original flight — to tape tonight's Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. He goes from there to the Saban Theater just outside Beverly Hills for a lecture/reading. I was going to hike over to at least one of these (I'm close enough to walk to either) to annoy him but I'm trapped in Deadline Hell and will be fortunate if I can find time to belch before dawn. But like you, I can at least watch (more likely, TiVo) his appearance with CraigyFerg. The other guest is Paris Hilton and I'd be fascinated to know what, if anything, she and Neil say to one another backstage. Perhaps an exchange of grooming tips?
