Happy Tenth, BK and Mr. Haines! I joined this merry band when I happened on Mr. Kimmel doing a Benjamin Kritzer reading at our favourite bookstore in Glendale, Mystery and Imagination (aka Bookfellows). I had just come into browse, but knew of Mr. Kimmel by reputation and having had many of his CDs (we had also been briefly introduced by the bookstore owners several years before). Anyway, we got to chatting after the reading and hit it off, finding we had much in common, and he suggested that I would be an ideal candidate for an interview on Haines His Way. Always willing to yak about myself, I agreed, we exchanged emails, he sent me questions, I answered them, and I started following his daily jottings and the message board, we went out to dinner at Musso and Frank's a few weeks later, cemented the friendship, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Oh...I also bought the first two Benjamin Kritzer books that day of the reading and read the first that night, laughing uproariously.
