Gainesville actually. I'm going to hear him give a speech at University of Florida.
Anyway, back to original reason for posting. I know it was about 15 posts ago (you guys move really fast), but I felt I need to address something:
I am always exaggerating things to try and get a laugh out of people. I like making my friends (online or no) smile. The bit I posted about freaking out and chasing Anthony around was one of those jokes. I'm sorry if I offended any one of you (especially if I offended Anthony himself) with the joke. Some of my friends thought it was funny and I hoped you all would too. Obviously, that was not the case and I'll be more careful about my antics here.
As for Anthony himself, he is...my hero. And I have nothing but love and respect for him and his work. And I apologize to him more than anyone if anything I've done or said (typed) has been taken too seriously. Never take me too seriously.
So I'm sorry, Anthony.

And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours." -The History Boys
6. "Pass the parcel. That's sometimes all you can do. Take it, feel it and pass it on. Not for me, not for you, but for someone, somewhere, one day. Pass it on, boys. That's the game I want you to learn. Pass it on." -The History Boys
