This was awesome to pop in here and see all of the fab pics from your NYC trip! Since I’m currently reading Revision & Self-Editing by James Scott Bell, I was particularly happy to see you and him standing together like old buddies (did you have your candy van?). So glad you had a wonderful time!

I lived within driving distance of NYC when I was in DE for 3 years and never went. Duh. But I’m an introvert anyway so don’t feel like I need to go.

I’m a total nerd when it comes to famous people. I only want to meet Nobel winners or famous scientists. I am proud to say I’ve met David Hubel, Noam Chomsky, Richard Dawkins, and, my best brag: Daniel Kahneman was my Psyc 200 prof! I’ve also met Pierre Trudeau…but I don’t really count Prime Ministers as brags, however charismatic they are.

I guess that makes us sisters then…ah, connections. I recently cried into the universe that I was ready to blog in order to get my writer-self out there, but needed help since I had no idea how to do it right. Next day, a blog of yours found its way into my inbox. I can’t even remember who sent it to me, but there it was. I’m making my way through your 2 books and you’ve kicked my butt into high gear. I just want to say THANK YOU for sharing and giving back…I’ll be joining the tribe very soon. All the best,
Donna

Kristin, I’ve never been to NYC but my oldest son loves it. In fact, he’s spending the summer on Long Island. His life is rough,let me tell you. Maybe one day I’ll be able to visit The Big Apple and at least take a nibble of it. Would you hold my hand when I do? I want to be close to someone who knows what to do in case the Zombie Apocalypse decides to ruin my vacation.

My husband and I used to own a toy and school supply business so he went to NYC every year for toy fair. I went every other. I LOVE New York. I’ve seen many famous people over the years, but unlike a convention where they are there to meet people, I saw them in random places. Because of that, I never said anything to them.

My favorite sighting was in the Oak Room at the Plaza. JFK Jr. was there “holding court” with a bunch of beautiful (hot) women. He was the only guy at the table. Some of their outfits were quite provocative. One gal had on a tuxedo jacket with nothing underneath and it was quite loose fitting if you get my drift.

When we got back to Boulder, I saw the National Enquirer with a photo of the table and some headline about Caroline (his fiancee at the time) being very upset that he was out “womanizing!”

It was before cell phones and small cameras or I would have taken a “stealth” picture!

I will be meeting James Rollins tonight at a book signing! That may be the only celebrity I see for a while.

I would love to go to Thrillerfest next year. By then, I should have one to pitch!

I didn’t drink very much at all. There was too much to learn and I needed my wits about me . We cut loose for Ingrid’s birthday but the conference was over by then.

Hi, Kristen,
I enjoyed reading about your New York trip and seeing photos of you and famous persons. I have your book, We are not alone, and read it. I finally figured out what WANA stands for. I also came home to an ignored refrigerator after a cruise to the Baltic where they were celebrating 19 hour days. After seeing all the gold leaf in Catherine’s Palace in St. Petersberg, I feel as if my home is too plain.
I appreciate all the good information in We are not alone and hope to incorporate it when I twitter.
