A wonderful blog about Kurt Vonnegut

Birdie of the Beauty Dish blog and other blogs not only writes, she sings. In this post, she writes of a chance encounter with Kurt Vonnegut. It begins this way.

I have alluded to this particular chance meeting a few times during my three years blogging, told bits and pieces of the story. Here it is in its entirety. When I lived in So Cal I managed, like all other beach bums, to see Hollywood stars in their native habitat. I never found much inspiration in those encounters, a few laughs or moments of introspection, but nothing that gave me great pause. One day, thirteen years ago on the Indiana backroads, I met one of the great writers of this generation... to read more, go the the Beauty Dish Blog.

Pris, it looks like Birdie has taken the Kurt Vonnegut story down from her blog site -- the link in your post didn't work when I clicked on it -- however, I found her story in the OurStory website, here, where she has posted it now.

And yeah, it's a great story.

Lyle, glad you tracked that down. Our Birdie is always in motion :-)
