As the only person I know who liked Evel as much (or more) than I did/do I wanted to write to you and offer you my condolences.<BR/><BR/>I had a dream last night about him, actually. It was one of those fever-induced fog-like dreams that fade quickly and I really don't remember much about it, but I woke up this morning and all day have been thinking about how awesome that picture of him and Kanye West is. And how much I respect Evel's kick ass approach to life. And how much I wanted to go to Butte and ride in that fucking parade with him, cos as good as he looked in that picture, I'm sure time was short, and I had to go next year for sure!<BR/><BR/>Then I Twittered my favorite quote of his (http://twitter.com/jamessime/statuses/458542892), and then a couple hours later I got the sad news from a dear friend of mine. It was a really, really surreal experience.<BR/><BR/>So, anyway... now I'm writing to you. Because you wrote the greatest Evel Knievel book ever written. Because you love the same crazy 70's daredevil stuntjumpers like the Human Fly and Mister Knievel like I do. Because I knew you could understand what it feels like to not get to go to Evel Knievel Days and ride in that parade with him. Because I wanted to share my dream story with you.<BR/><BR/>And because Evel called you Steve Man-Dick.<BR/><BR/>And because I knew you'd be sad to hear he was gone too.<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/><BR/>James Sime<BR/>Isotope - the comic book lounge<BR/>San Francisco<BR/>http://isotopecomics.comthe Isotope Communiquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04137055179920398027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25521566.post-54239986300745973542007-11-30T16:16:00.000-08:002007-11-30T16:16:00.000-08:00Hi Steve - Your long-lost pal hilary here.
