VideoNeil Gaiman in Manila, Nov. 25, 2007Nov 25, '07 7:51 AM
for everyone
Grr... horrible video resolution and sound (motorola krzr video recorder, you failed me!) but yeah it doesn't matter because I was there in person! Yay!

For those who are interested, get a good headphone, set your computer volume to maximum and you just might understand what Mr. Gaiman is saying in this short Q&A

Highlights:
* Mr. Gaiman talked about his involvement with the Philippine Graphic/Fiction Contest and how he's impressed with the Filipino talent and folklores
* Answered what makes the literature distinctly Filipino
* Will there be Filipino characters appearing in his future works?
* Asked where he got his weird characters from (he steals them, he says. from Filipino legends! lol!)
* Has he ever experienced writer's block

There were a few more questions but I wasn't able to record them. 10 minutes is my maximum tolerance of keeping my arms up without them shaking too horribly hence you'd just be seeing Mr. Gaiman as a black blur.

May nilaunch sya na book pero not his book... Hehe...

He awarded the winners of the Book of Magic: Philippine Graphic/Fiction Contest. He said he was impressed with the Filipino talent and he was disappointed because the works were never published so he funded the publishing of the winner's works AND he even wrote the foreword! Cool super cool Mr. Gaiman! The book title is EXPEDITIONS

Aww sayang nga di ka nakapunta! He's awesome! (super fan girl mode! hehe! XD)
