Just noticed that Tiger68 never made a topic for Gibson sightings despite the blurb for the Announcement Forum.
Post your Gibson sightings here - unless of course you live in his neighborhood, in which case you should say Hi from Fashionpolice. :-) P.S. I am the Hacker Queen!!! This message has been edited.

Hmm...Warren Ellis had lunch with a Bill Gibson on August 19, 2004. Can it be our man?
I think it is. www.diepunyhumans.com ************************** "Damn," he said. "This's worse than science fiction---" "Because it's real," I said. "Hard to explain, harder to understand." Jack Womack, Elvissey, pg. 185 |

Which makes us wonder why he is spending so much time in California lately.
Will it be the obvious? Or the new novel will tackle at the same time Politics and show business (two faces of the same coin in the USA). Retired |

Ellis had lunch with him in Vancouver.
----------------------------- "It may be said with rough accuracy that there are three stages in the life of a strong people. First, it is a small power, and fights small powers. Then it is a great power, and fights great powers. Then it is a great power, and fights small powers, but pretends that they are great powers, in order to rekindle the ashes of its ancient emotion and vanity. After that, the next step is to become a small power itself." --GK Chesterton, "Heretics" |

Well let's see... I saw William Gibson in Stir Crazy, a local coffee haus in Los Angeles. I also saw him riding in a bright yellow Corvette.

Yellow Corvette?
We got him to reveal in his blog that he drives a Jetta. Can a yellow Corvette be his other car? Naah, couldn't be, it just wouldn't go with his complexion! ************************** "Damn," he said. "This's worse than science fiction---" "Because it's real," I said.

So maybe Gibson was in the trunk of the aforementioned Corvette, marinating on his way to the barbecue.

This is the kind of creepy thread that I'll be tortured by someday when there's a forum for people to talk about me and my [whatver I produce]. I'd sort of want to discourage stalky behavior, but then it'd be sort of fun in a twisted way to... y'know. Make random off-hand comments to the press about yellow corvettes. See if it gets picked up.
Remember kids, the internet loves you. Even though sometimes it touches you in the bad place. |

I wouldn't call it stalker-like behavior, hurts. Mr. N meets the profile of several types of individuals that WG has been known to associate with (intentionally). He shows he has some class by posting with such restraint.

My bad. You'd choose the gullwing Mercedes, then?
Not much room for a chap like Gibson, though. Maybe an old Chevy truck. -------------- Debs/Goldman '08! |

quote: Well, I guess he must moonlight as a bodyguard. Mr. Nox must be really afraid of the Pope, though, to pay what Mr. Gibson must charge. But writers can usually be had for next to nothing. I bet Coupland would do it for no money down and a daily hit of Purple Haze. |

What are the odds in a Coupland vs. The Pope tête - à - tête? Anyone know the stats?
