My Apologies To George Saunders

I must apologize to George Saunders. George: please accept my sincerest apologies. Why do I need to apologize to George? I need to because of this photograph:

I took this photo of him at the Tattered Cover Lodo reading for Tenth of December. Then I posted it to facebook. People immediately asked if George was a zombie. One person suggested he looked more like a mafia hitman.

This is my fault. I always take a quick snap of authors when I go to a reading at Tattered Cover and post to facebook. I do this so people can follow the readings I’m getting to attend and I tend to take the pics quickly, trying to be unintrusive at the reading about it.

However, as you can tell from the above, I do not tend to take good pictures. This only gets worse when I try to do it quick and be unintrusive.

As such, I owe you an apology, George. Sorry for taking and posting a picture that makes you appear to be a zombie and/or a mafia hitman. Well, at least for the zombie part. The mafia hitman thing may have been more due to the choice of the dark shirt/jacket/tie combination. I can’t be responsible for wardrobe choices, even if I find them stylish.
