Occasional but mostly lapsed DR Charles Pogues close and personal friend Harlan Ellison was fun. He was so curmudgeonly during his talk and then while we were getting his autograph someone came up and asked if I was the Vixters mom. Turns out she was feeling ill and sent for me.... (Turned out to be too much junk food in her delicate tummy).... The next day Vixdad and I went to another of his talks and he spotted us in the audience and stopped the Lecture to chat with us and find out how she was and what had been wrong and proceeded to tell some anecdotes about how he drove his mother crazy when he was a boy
