Why I like Justin
Because it’s always fun to befriend someone who is that much dorkier than yourself.
And he makes good art.

A story about Billy Corgan
So I didn’t technically meet Billy Corgan in the traditional sense. I worked at a Landmark Theater in Highland Park, IL the last two years I was in high school. For those of you that follow his life, you may know that he had bought a house there for some time. Naturally he decided to come to our theater on opening weekend of Fahrenheit 9/11. I was on door duty since the movie was in three different places and because people choose not to read signs it was my job to direct traffic. As I’m letting people in, up comes Billy in all his bald-headed, mustachioed glory. And just as he’s getting to the door this old guy slaps him on the back and says “is this the smashing pumpkin?” to which Mr. Corgan replies, “not anymore”.
I was pretty tempted to tell him his poetry was awful, but didn’t because I was at work and that would be mean. Not to say that it isn’t true though…
A story about Dave Eggers
I met him at the Printers Row Book Fair in Chicago a couple summers ago. There’s a branch of 826 Valencia in Chitown and he had a handful of kids read some of their own work. It was pretty wonderful, him and the kids signed books afterward and that’s when I seized the opportunity to talk to him. He’s a real nice guy, if you ever get the chance to say hello go for it.
Why I like sparkcitysky
I met Jenn in the fall of 2005. We’re roommates with six other girls at Montserrat College of Art. We’re both photo majors _ which is why we’re cooler than everyone else.
