Orson Scott Card ... My God, I'm Gushing
My dad has an interesting life. He travels all around the United States selling artwork to people. (If you haven't seen any of his work, I just launched version 3.0 of his website this week - new design, new images, there's even an time lapse animation of one of the new paintings he completed for this calendar year. So check it out, bruceholwerda.com. So yeah.
Recently, my father had a show in Madison, Wisconsin, and incidentally Orson Scott Card was there doing a book signing for his new book, Magic Street. (Card wrote one of my favorite science fiction books ever - maybe you've heard of it. It's called Ender's Game. So not only did Orson Scott Card walk through the art show, and not only did he stop in my father's booth and begin talking to him, but he BOUGHT like six prints! And not only did he buy six prints, but he wants to use my father's images for some stories he's writing!
HOW SICK IS THAT?
The worst thing? My father had no idea who this guy was. He treated him like every other guy he met that day.
Mr. Card said, "Maybe you've read one of my books? I write Science Fiction."
My father: "Oh, no. I dont' read as much as I should. My son reads all that kind of stuff though."
Mr. Card: *Chuckles* "He'll know who I am then."
You're damned right I do!

Lastly, I just signed up for Freeipods.com - it seemed like a scam at first but then I read a lot of literature about it and decided to give it a try. You just have to complete an offer and then refer some people, it's worth the trouble.

Talk to you all later!
