"Flam - flames. Flames, on the side of my face, heathing . . . breathle - heathing breaths. Heathing breath . . ." Member  |
... at the Book Fair in Leipzig on the 22nd. I need advice: what should I bring/wear to make him recognize me as a WE-er? Any great gift ideas for him anyone had recently and might wanna share? Cos I got nothing right now... other than a mango, and I think that gift idea is getting a bit old. Anyone who read the FAQ know about the mangoes. Or is that just for Lorraine?
Anyway, who's got hintses for me? It's my first time meeting him, I really wanna make it special. ****************************************************************** Superbly Sublime Splendiferous Sterling Shiftmaster of the Realm of Unproductivity and Procrastination ****************************************************************** You are a Player.

Red balloon is pretty much a given.
Scotch is a really good hint, thanks! And no, and there won't be time to make one before then...  ****************************************************************** Superbly Sublime Splendiferous Sterling Shiftmaster of the Realm of Unproductivity and Procrastination ****************************************************************** You are a Player.

sez you... the official This Shirt Is Pants band t-shirts have been made by writing on white t-shirts with black marker.

You could just have a sign saying 'I'm from the Board'
Although he may not appear onstage after that...

Mangos are for Lorraine.
I second the good scotch He likes chocolate, but it needs to be flourless I remember. ______________________ “Fandangling across the moony sky, went the Beezee bold as brass, side-saddle she sat, on a big painted bat, shooting moonbeams out of her a(censored)e.†~Joe ________________________ Isn't sanity really just a one trick pony, anyway?

 Flourless chocolate? There's flour in chocolate? Colour me confused...And I am already one step ahead of "marker on white t-shirt" (I don't own white shirts anyway): making a thingy on the computer, printing on special paper and ironing it on! Just need to find that special paper... or I could take a normal printout to that shop in town where they print stuff on shirts. Hope they have something in my size... ****************************************************************** Superbly Sublime Splendiferous Sterling Shiftmaster of the Realm of Unproductivity and Procrastination ****************************************************************** You are a Player.

This is so cool and I think it's sweet you want to get Mr. Gaiman a gift. Scotch is good. And chocolate is nice and flourless, yes, as BeeZee said. And don't be afraid to talk to him. (One small suggestion: if you bring food, bring store-bought rather than homemade. Homemade is groovy and nice and thoughtful and all, but seriously, he doesn't know who most people are and there are, unfortunately, crazy screwed-up people in this world who would do something horrible and they often look like the normal people.)

Thanks for the hint, queen monk - I was seriously looking for flourless cake recipes, but of course you're right. Easier for me, too!
So chocolate and scotch it is... I know just where to go!Thanks guys, you are awesome!

I think he knows some of the folk here on the board well enough that if you were with them, homemade would be wonderful but, well, you're far away unfortunately. What we need to do is all go together to a signing sometime and take the whole place over! Scotch and flourless chocolate torts for everyone!! ********-------******** "this whole blonde doctor situation has me mortified" --- and I don't normally advocate music I love, but go see www.myspace.com/umbrellatree and thank me later! |

Hey, I second that! Now we only need to find a signing venue that's equally reachable from North America, South America, Europe, Australia and Asia... I vote Kamchatka!.

Theatregeek Amy has a superswell recipe for flourless chocolate chip cookies. I have seen him scarf them down with my own eyes. I can pass along a message to the PTB saying that the girl in Leipzig with the red balloon has safe cookies he can eat? _____________________________________________________________ Don't you realize? The next time you see sky, it'll be over another town. The next time you take a test, it'll be in some other school. Our parents, they want the best of stuff for us. But right now, they got to do what's right for them. Because it's their time. Their time! Up there! Down here, it's our time. It's our time down here. That's all over the second we ride up Troy's bucket. - Goonies |

Dammit, I only just read this - would have been great. Oh well, another time perhaps. I bought a bottle of scotch (plastic, so it's safer to transport - the guy in the shop assured me it doesn't affect the taste at all) and some chocolate (milk and dark, since I don't know which kind he likes better). I've got red ballons (even some spares) with a skull and bones motif, train tickets, a place to sleep and a ticket to the book fair... the only thing I couldn't get was a ticket for the jazz club reading in the evening. The club said they don't sell them; they couldn't even tell me the price. On their homepage it only says "Abendkasse" ("ticket at entrance"), so that's kinda weird...

So what is the deal with Neil and flour? Does he have celiac disease? I've known for a while now that he doesn't/can't eat stuff with flour, but don't remember hearing why.

I know he's allergic to it but I haven't heard that it's because of Celiac disease.
I'm allergic to processed wheat flour too but I don't have celiac disease. I can do a whole grain wheat like shredded wheat cereal in moderation. I can do a lot of other whole grains like amaranth, millet, quinoa, corn/maize. I also don't do too badly with brown rice flour or tapioca flour although I just plain try not to have any flour at all because if I have something made with gluten-free flour I'll be bound to want something that is made from regular wheat flour. Processed wheat flour = I get itchy and get hives and my skin dries out. Gluten-free all the way baby! Oh, and thank goodness I don't have celiac because a lot of people with celiac disease end up abstaining from oats as well. Where would I be without my Wessex Scottish Style Porridge Oats?!
