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!!!

Hmm...Warren Ellis had lunch with a Bill Gibson on August 19, 2004. Can it be our man?

I think it is.

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).

Ellis had lunch with him in Vancouver.

gromit- i got all excited there "gibson sightings Gromit" i thought he was out here.

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!

a-hah. what does it all mean?

I'm not certain yet, but I think it might mean that Nox is really... D. B. Cooper!



Whaddya think?

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

Oh wait, that's MOM's thing.

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.

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.

No, sir. Were I delivering a William Gibson to his last luau in a wine vinegar and garlic marinade with black pepper and oregano, the automobile would be made of steel.

My bad. You'd choose the gullwing Mercedes, then?

Not much room for a chap like Gibson, though. Maybe an old Chevy truck.

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?

even if I know them... I will be hard to figure them out...
