I met him by accident in an alleyway outside a Sci Fi Con in Denver. I went out there to smoke a joint alone because I was sick of my friends always smoking my weed. A door opened in the wall right next to me, outwards, and as it closed, on the other side of it, was revealed William Shatner and two security personnel. Shat kinda jumped a little and the security guys froze. No one knew what to do. I didn't. It's William Shatner. Holy shit. And I think I freaked him out. Then I realized I was holding smoking maijuana so I tried to drop it real casual-like and we all just stood there in silence staring at each other waiting for something to save us. I was really stoned but I managed "Hey man you were great in Kingdom of the Spiders." He said, "Oh. Thanks." But it didn't serve to relieve the tension much. I thought that would demonstrate that I wasn't just some Star Trek fan, you know? I knew Kingdom of the Spiders, even though it was awful. No one knows that movie. And I was being really polite about his performance in it, which technically I didn't have to be. But we all went back to standing there being uncomfortable without further dialogue about his film career until a limo pulled up at last and they all got in. As it drove away I picked up the joint and re-lit it and contemplated the significance of what had just happened. I'm not sure what getting busted by Captain Kirk means but I'm certain that he remembers me and I find some satisfaction in that.
Why wouldn't we believe you. You draw for comics . I remember talking to you in 2001 on some comic board about roids lol.
