Michael Z. Williamson was in town this weekend, and he's an author whose works I enjoy reading quite a lot, as well as his many posts on Facebook and his blog.
I got a chance to meet him Saturday in the afternoon in person.
Met him at one of his friend's places up in Auburn Hills. The friend, Nathan, graciously allowed a stranger to visit, and welcomed me in to his place, as did his cats.
Another friend of Mike's also showed up and much fun conversing took place on a very wide range of topics. The two friends (host and visitor) were authors as well.
The discussion ranged from everything from the VA, red dots on pistols, to tectonic plates, conventions, fandom, post-apocalyptic survival, and yes, rocket science. Those three were a very smart group indeed.
Mad Mike is at least as much fun in person as he is online, if not more so.
He's very convivial, congenial, and has a bunch of great stories to tell. In short, he's a great guy.
My first time meeting him in person and it was great to do so. We all went out to a pub for dinner and then headed back to the friends place to chat a bit more before everyone headed out. It was very kind of Mike and friends to include me and it is appreciated as it was a great time with very good people.
