I met Armistead Maupin, author of the Tales of the City series, at the ALA annual conference in DC in June, 2007. Maupin was the keynote speaker at the PLA Awards. He started off his talk by commenting how strange it was that the person who was originally tapped for the keynote speaker spot, Elizabeth Edwards, was in San Fransico showing her support for gay marriage, while he, a famous gay San Fransican author, was in D.C. He was amazingly kind, funny and generous with his time. Be sure to check out his books from the aslritc today!
