David Mack Mentioned at A Distant Soil
From Colleen Doran's blog:
	David Mack has a dirty sense of humor and I can’t repeat any of the great gossip I heard all weekend. Which kind of sucks. Let’s just say that I laughed so hard on two occasions that it sent me into a respiratory attack and at one point I collapsed on the floor laughing so hard that I could not breathe and thought I would, literally, die laughing.
