*****So then I found out that our department had been invited to have brunch with him on Sunday. Holy crap. Just our department. And him. Brunch. NOW I just got an email saying that the location for the brunch has been changed and will be held at the home of the Italian consulate, who has kindly invited us to gnosh at to her house in Buckhead.
Seriously, first Crispin Glover, now this. What the hell am I going to wear?

You are famous. They are all flocking around you!!
Lucky... lol. (I know Crispin Glover, but not the new guy coming, lol)
The new guy is an incredible writer and theorist from Italy. He wrote the book "Foucault's Pendulum" that I *tried* to read all summer. He's incredibly cool and interesting, and a HUGE name for us to host here. I'm so excited!
But the question remains...what to wear? :-)
That is very cool! Give us an update after it's over!
People should read this.
