1fastmach1 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 many many years ago, was in bangor maine or wherever is the town where stephen king is supposed to live (i think bangor maine but memory may have played tricks) - we were there because one idiot mate was convinced that if we went we would meet him. i'll confess that even to this day, i have never read a word he has written - not sure why. anyway, while my idiot mate and a few others rushed off to scour the town and meet him, i went to the post office (days of mail - that long ago). suddenly there is a bloke in the next queue opposite me, fairly scruffy looking bloke, handing over a smallish box saying that yes, he had finally finished his latest manuscript and here it was. he and the person behind the desk had a yack. obviously knew each other. to this day, i have no idea if it was him (i was going to ask and then i thought, no, it will drive my mate far more insane if i can't tell him either way and of course, i did not mention this until we were several hours drive away). i assume that plenty of authors live around there. it was that sort of trip. we also drove all the way to freehold new jersey as it was bruce's home town and then to the stone pony and the boardwalk and so on. That’s a pretty good story. I’ve seen him speak at the famous Ryman in Nashville once. Watched him sign a book for me during the meet and great. Had a few words. Shook hands. Nothing crazy but it was awesome experience. I’d love to take a trip to Bangor. That is indeed where he lives. Pretty creepy looking house if I don’t say so myself.
