I met him last month in Naperville. Yay!

However, if the chance arose I would take it.

Still, I'd quite like to meet him.

I met him twice in one day, once after a performance when he was book signing, and the other after a benefit at a book signing. He remembered me. Edit: 6667th post.

No, although he has visited my a town very, very close to where I live. My library system won a Lemony Snicket contest, and one of the prizes was an author visit. The tickets were free, and I went to procure some the day they became available, but all were gone from all library branches within an hour of opening. It was sad indeed.
The event took place at the Ten Oaks Ballroom, which is both an assembly hall and a firestation. Numerous provisions are provided for the firefighters at the station, including a shop, a dining area, a kitchen, and a library. Apparently there was a refrigerator randomly placed in one of the signing lines that day.
I can't believe I missed out.

I go to bed early and rise late and feel as if I have hardly slept, probably because I have been reading almost the entire time

I live in the U.K., so basically, I'm never going to meet Snicket, ever. I'd like to, but it's just not going to happen.

No, but I'm going to talk with my Principal and Vice Principal to see if they will invite him to our school for an assembly.
