    Default Stephen King visits DMG!

    Well, I had one hell of a day last Wednesday.

    Stephen King popped into the office for the first time, ever!

    He was only here for about 10 minutes, but what a thrill!!

    When he got here, Robert introduced us, he shook my hand, asked how I was, came inside.
    I bought him a birthday card that had (what looked like) a Gunslinger on the cover and played music when opened! When he opened it he said that he knew it was going to play that tune! And he hugged me!! OK, OMG!! I am still so excited over it.


    When have y'all met "the man"?
    Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.

    Wow...he must have been visiting Joe, maybe...what a thrill! Was it a complete surprise, or had he called ahead to let Robert know he was coming?

    Haha...he must be out of the area by now, so the info can be leaked!

    That's way cooler than any 'chance' meeting could ever be, because he's on YOUR time, as opposed to on his (obviously his time, but you know what I mean).

    Speaking of not leaking any info - any chance there was a BUSINESS aspect to his visit?????

    I figured you had some sort of gag order - no other way would you have kept that secret for 5 days.

    I would love to hug SK, totally manly of course.

    I hope he maybe signed our Grand Prize for Ari, that would be sweet as hell. I mean, since he was in the area.

    Matt, DMG is not in the area of his office. It's three hours south of it, as a matter of fact!

    And the reason for his visit had nothing to do with DMG. So, I don't have any of THOSE kinds of secrets to keep! I wish I did though
