In the presence of the King
When: Tuesday, October 24, 2006, 7:45p.m.
Where: The Peter Jay Sharp Theater at Symphony Space, 95th and Broadway, Upper East Side, New York, New York
Who: Famed horror writer extraordinare Stephen King. Chris Manganello. And about 1,500 others.
Why: Promoting King's new novel, "Lisey's Story", the story of a writer's widow who comes to terms with her novelist husband's untimely death through her exploration of his writing studio and her own family's struggles.
Subtext: I've always been a huge - HUGE - Stephen King fan. I fell in love with his writing after reading The Talisman twenty-two years ago, and the love affair (albiet unrequited) has grown from there. So, when I had the opportunity to see Stephen King in person, I grabbed it. For an hour and a half last Tuesday, I was treated to sitting about 20 feet away from the man who inspired so many sleepness nights during my youth.
Totally, totally cool.
