Meeting Armistead Maupin (again)
Tonight, I had the pleasure of meeting Armistead Maupin. Again.
Maupin is touring the U.S. and the U.K. on a tour to promote his latest "Tales of the City" book, "Michael Tolliver Lives," and the third stop on the tour happened to be here in Bellingham! So Rick, Peter, and I went to see him and get books signed.
My friends Rick Ruben (left) and Peter Rolstad (in kilt) listen to Maupin speak.
Rick gets a book signed.
This is actually the second time I've met Maupin. The first time was in 1993, in New York City, at Stonewall 25. I met him on the parade route and we chatted briefly about how popular the Tales of the City books were in Kansas public libraries (where I worked at the time).
Maupin started by reading an excerpt from the new book, then took questions from the audience. Afterwards, he chatted with fans while signing books. What a charming, funny man!
