http://totallykate.com/interv/aug10int.html Nice interview. I'm afraid I agree with her opinion on books vs "kindles". I guess that makes the two of us honarary curmodgens (sp?) like Samuel T. Cogley, attorney at law. 
COGLEY: I've got my own system. Books, young man, books. Thousands of them. If time wasn't so important, I'd show you something. My library. Thousands of books.
KIRK: And what would be the point?
COGLEY: This is where the law is. Not in that homogenized, pasteurized, synthesizer. Do you want to know the law, the ancient concepts in their own language, Learn the intent of the men who wrote them, from Moses to the tribunal of Alpha 3? Books.
There's also another fan description of "Love, Loss, and what I wore", and encountering Kate by the stage door.

I loved her elation the first night, and smiled sadly at her "experience" the 2nd night. We have such hopes for our "intimate" encounters with the objects of our obsessions... that we sometimes forget the men and women have their own schedules and lives that don't always bend towards our fantasies. Her "2nd night" made me think of a story Pierce Brosnan told about meeting a woman and her teen daughter in an elevator. They were upset he wasn't more "welcoming" of their attention, but they didn't know he was going upstairs to see his dentist for a horrible toothache he was having at the time.
I don't know if I have the "guts" to stand by the stage door after a performance of "Antony & Cleopatra" in Hartford. First, would she even come out that way? Second... would I find the "Queen" receiving her adoring fans, or the woman just trying to get home and grab something to eat before hitting the sack?
Maybe I'll just worship from "afar" and hold tight to my past memories of shaking that hand.

I love proper paper books, to the point where my husband and I recently got rid of several hundred of them because we had nowhere to put them (we had two bookcases practically blocking the upstairs landing, and we got rid of them). This is the only reason I've toyed with getting an ebook; there are so many books I still want to get, but have no room for them.
