To me, this viral spread is more obvious that for the album covers.
A talk and reading with Alan Moore… That must be something.
(The other day in Paris, I took a picture of a river god statue on one of the bridges because I thought it looked just like him…)

Alan gives great readings.
Was the statue on the bridge near the Grand Palais? (I forget the name.)

On the Alexander III bridge (that with the golden statues) ?
No.
It was on Pont Notre Dame (http://www.flickr.com/photos/7333736@N08/2184569305/)

Ah yes, it does look like rather him, although he usually wears a more regular hat than that kind of fruit and veg arrangement.

JC, your design is awesome. And what’s that they say about the sincerest form of flattery?

Heh, thanks Thom. And yes, it is the sincerest form of flattery.

Tickets for this went far too fast, but I’m hoping it’s a variation on a similar talk Alan gave at the same location a few months ago.
I’ve also seen the new talk advertised locally with the title “An Extraordinarily Gentle Man”, which sounds twelve times better.

That misconception reminds me of when we did the William Blake reading in 2001 (I was doing the video projection). I arrived early and the guys setting things up on the stage were saying “Are you with the magician?” as though Alan was going to be pulling rabbits out of hats.
