A story about Douglas Coupland
I eventually met Doug a few weeks ago in London. He announced he wasn’t going to be touring/speaking anymore so I figured if there was ever a time to be a fan girl.
He was warm – like even his hands.

Met him in an airport in Las Vegas. He was incredibly humble and sweet. We had a brief conversation about various neighbourhoods in Vancouver. I was just happy I didn’t pull an “OMG, I Can’t speak!” like I did during a previous book signing.

A story about Douglas Coupland
attended what he said was his last book signing for a few months if not for the next few years or so, he jokingly told the crowd at Chapters. I’m visiting Vancouver for the first time, and have been using his ‘City of Glass’ as an alternative guide. After his reading and my place in line. We chatted for approx 5 mins and he asked me about my t shirt. Finn brothers. Seemed a really mellow guy, very considerate to his fans and appreciative. Was worth the wait.
