Wil Wheaton Sent Me His Latest Book: “The Happiest Days of Our Lives”
I’ve been out of town for a week but the day I left I discovered a nice surprise in my mailbox, a signed copy of “The Happiest Days of Our Lives”!
I’m including a picture of the book and my biz card which started the surprise gift giving. The short story behind this is that when we met on the plane to Vegas he saw my store business card and commented on one of the designs on it “You have increased your alcohol tolerance“. So sometime after the trip I sent him a shirt with the design and an accompanying letter with a reference to traveling back in time before we used email. He then surprised me with a signed copy of his book and a handwritten note (thus one upping me in the Wayback machine).
I said it when I first met him but I’ll say it again. Wil Wheaton is an awesome geek! Thanks Wil!
I’ve just started reading the book (I didn’t take it with me on my trip as I was out in the wilderness and didn’t want to destroy it) but I’m enjoying it immensely.
