It's everywhere:
1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me" or some such.
2. I will respond by asking you 5 questions that may stray into realms you wish to remain private.
3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions. Please.
4. You will include this and an offer to interview someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them 5 questions.
As with the last time, I still don't have a lot of readers, so can't say whether too many people will respond. But I will ask questions of the first 5 people who reply.
1) You have two kids currently. Are you and
You don't regularly read my posts, so have likely not seen my previous entry regarding my decision to get a vasectomy. I'd very much like the kids to have moved out by the time I'm 60, so yeah ... we're done. (Plus, you forgot the Daughter, who doesn't live with us.)
2) You are a second-gen (at least) fan. What is your first memory of an SF Con?
Well, that would probably be a WesterCon or WorldCon that took place in LA when I was a very young, and the memory wasn't tied so much to the con itself as to eating breakfast at Sambo's with my dad and sister. I found a cockroach in my pancakes, and we got the meal for free. Really, the clearer memories of cons were from DunDraCon, and those involve Jeff Pimper letting me help with the film projector. "Phantasm" and Mike Jittlov left a clear impression.
3) Hands down - who is your favorite SF author?
Herein lies my embarassing confession: I don't actually read a lot of sci-fi (or even fantasy). Most of my reading is in the form of blogs, biographies and graphic novels. Just based on having read multiples from a single author, though, I'd have to say Neil Gaiman.
4) Are you and your wife ever likely to move back to the Bay Area core, do you think?
As often as she's spoken about missing Santa Cruz and wishing we could move there, the Wife just told me yesterday that if we could move anywhere in the Bay Area, it would be Mountain View. Essentially halfway between her family and mine, it's also a nice community with everything one would need.
5) Do you think you'd ever leave the Bay Area permanently?
Not likely, unless overnight I was somehow able to make a living as a professional film actor without any effort. I can't imagine that would enable to me to stay out of LA unless I was superfamous. Although New Zealand does sound nice.
