John Hodgman Sighted Off the Port Bow!

Last night, I had the pleasing pleasure of seeing the enigmatic, erudite, and empirologicalistic John Hodgman speak at Powell's Bookstore here in Portland. He was pimping the paperback version of his brilliant Areas of My Expertise, which has all the information about hoboes you never knew you needed but now realize you do, along with many things non-hobo that you probably also need to know.

My girlfriend asked for a sip of his brandy and he granted her wish, after she showed appropriate, state-issued identification. Hairy, folksy Jonathan Coulton played Mr. Hodgman's theme song live and in person.

You really should buy that book. It is purely and completely coincidence that I use the exact same Blogger template as Mr. Hodgman. I picked it before I ever saw his. Seriously.
