Admittedly, I did end up catching Heroes Tuesday afternoon, even though I was on vacation. *laughs* My friend who I was with is a fan of the show and was three episodes behind. But it was raining for most of Monday, so we watched "Into Asylum", "Turn and Face the Strange", and "1961" on Monday, then "I Am Sylar" on Tuesday. It was amusing because she's not in any fandom at all, but she watches the show and thinks all the characters are gay for each other. Especially Peter and Nathan.

I would say that in terms of well-known authors, Neil Gaiman is on the most awesome side of the scale. So it's perfectly acceptable. ;) What time is the talk? Maybe you'll be able to make it home by 9.
