I've got a great L.Q. Jones story: in the late 80's he came into the restaurant where I was working the reservation desk as the Maitre de (it sounds fancy but it really wasn't all that chez chez) I recognized the name because I had seen 'A Boy and His Dog' at a revival house (remember those?) just a few months earlier. When I mentioned to him that I really enjoyed that film he made (as a director) he turned to his date and told her; "You see I told you I've directed movies!" Later when she went to the rest room L.Q. called me over and said "Son, I couldn't have paid you enough to say what you did. You want to talk about timing...". A nice fellow. Cowboy hat, boots, Texas drawl and all.
hey! btw GSW...it looks like it's just you and I hanging out over here. guess everyone else just moseyed along...
Thanks Rocket! Maybe the others are lurkers. Either way we have no control over what other folks do. We will just enjoy the treasures you find and post by ourselves.
