Start with the most recent.
I met Matthew Reilly a couple of months ago at a seminar. I've read most of his stuff - not cause he's a literary giant but because as my yr. 12 Lit. teacher told me - "You've got to walk thru pigshit in order to appreciate the pearls." and Mr. Reilly's fast paced tales altho not on the same shelf as Huxley, Mishima, Burroughs or PJ O'Rourke are entertaining to say the least.
Anyhoo - nice fella, I was a bit taken back when I met him and hesitated shaking hands. He said "You were going to say I seem younger than you thought I would be weren't you? I get that a lot."
"Shorter actually, but who's counting?"
"Oh..."
"Nah, I'm just joshing [joking with] you. Babyface." He laughed at that. He is quite short.

I had an ongoing correspondence with Victor Kellerher who I first wrote to as part of a project in yr. 7. Some of his suggestions affected my approach to writing in a big way. Turned out that his son was born days after me in the same hospital (bearing in mind that this coincidence involves a hospital in a mining town on the middle of Fucking-No-Where in Africa). We wrote back and forth for a few years, I met him and his family when he came over to WA and I used to play in a BF2 clan with his son quite regularly a few years ago.

I cooked dinner for and met the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. I was working as sous at the Entertainment Centre. We cooked for all of the bands and crew.
Lawrie (chef) and I weren't big fans but we knew them to listen to and were a bit starstruck. We hoped to find them snorting coke off prozzie's tits whilst offering to share the rider with us prior to trashing the room, when we were invited upstairs to meet them.
They thanked us politely for their delicious soy & lemongrass fish stirfry, steamed pak-choy and couscous dinner whilst sipping their post show mineral waters and offered us some lapsang souchong to revive us before we headed down to help the dishpig finish up.

Spiderbait were MUCH more fun!

The Red Hot Chilli Peps sat on a table next to me at a cafe on the Portobello Road. I quipped to
the owner that he should not serve them. "Why?" He asked.
"Because they will expect you to, give it away give it away now." I replied.

The dwarf lead singer laughed and laughed.

It sounds like Victor Kelleher has a lot to answer for.

Write it up
motherfucker.

Or just sit up in the bleachers/stands and criticise the plays/game.
Like the rest of the bully-trolls.

Your choice.

It's amazing how these people can squeeze so little story into so many words.

"these people"
What I find amazing is how a man who claims to be a functioning human being, has a job, family and lots of extracurricular activities finds the time to be on this website often for hours at a time posting hatred and vitriol literally tens of thousands of times day in and day out.
That's some astounding manipulation of time.

Or a delusion.
