We went to Weird Al's book signing in Houston last month. I got to briefly chat with Al as he signed my books. I gave him a copy of my dissertation, which included a chapter devoted to him and I gave him a CD of my songs that have been on the Dr. Demento Show.
NASA's biggest rocket testing facility is right across the border in Mississippi. We went last weekend and we got to meet Fred Haise, an astronaut from Apollo 13.
