Well, it probably doesn't qualify as 'cool' but I spoke with Gord D. for a few minutes after he did a poetry reading at the National Library (he also played 'Into the Night' and 'Figment' solo at the same event). I mentioned the 'Dark Canuck' as a comment on the War on Terror, and he seemed to dig that, leaning back making 'honking' motions and saying how much he loved the image of people blasting their horns at the defeat of the (cartoon) enemy. And he kindly signed my copy of CMG, which was later stolen or lost in a move, much to my aggravation.

One note---he seemed a stich hard of hearing. Perhaps not surprsing. Or maybe I was mumbling out of shyness cratch:

I met him at that same event! It was my first time meeting him and I was a bit shy/nervous, but he was extremely cool and down to earth, which made it very easy to talk to him. He's a great guy, and he genuinely seems to appreciate his fans.
