Just had nice/funny conversation w/ Deepak Chopra!

I just posted this on the Bendis board. Thought you may get a kick out of it.
It's sort of funny, because I used to mention in interviews and stuff that I was enjoying Oeming's stuff on BulletProof Monk.
Here It is:

Oeming will love this one!

My girlfriend and I were just at a local bookstore grabbing a bite to eat.

Deepak Chopra was speaking there and was then to do a book signing.

I had enjoyed some of his other books, so I bought the new paperback and went to have him sign it. It was sort of funny, because some other people were trying to get thier picture taken with him and he was sort of in an awkward position waiting for them to pose and take the picture and I'm right at the desk next in line. He takes the book from me and the rest goes like this:

DC: What's your name?

DM: David.

(He starts to sign in the book.)

DM: I do a comic book called Kabuki and I've acknowledged you in the back of the book before.

(His eyes light up. Remember his son did a comic book. And Oeming penciled it.)

DC: A comic book? (Looks right at me really happy. Big genuine smile.) My son did a comic book!

DM: Yeah Gothom. He did Bullet Proof Monk.

DC: Yeah!

DM: I really enjoyed it. It was from Image. The same company I do mine at.

DC: What is your full name?

DM: David Mack.

DC: David Mack.

DC: What is the book you do?

DM: Kabuki.

DC: Kabuki.

DM: Yeah.

DC: (He looks very amused and happy now) I will mention that to my son. I will tell him you enjoyed it.

It was sort of funny, becouse our conversation and interaction was totally different than the rest of the mood and silence there. I think my extra cheeriness and outgoingness sort of amused him amidst the rest of the serious crowd. He was sweet and accomodating to the other people there, but it looked like he might have been getting weary of signing and posing for photos. And the comic conversation (and probably my wierdness) seemed to sort of entertain him. Anh and I sort of stood out in a crowd of people mostly older than us.
He signed "To David, Love, Deepak" :) I can't explain why, but the whole thing was kind of a funny reversal of a comic con.
