In May of 2005, CJ gave a speech at my college (I have since graduated...yay!!!) and I was lucky enough to get him to autograph my Blowback copy. What a great speech...I think I may still have a link to it somewhere. Give me a few & I will try to find it.

The best part was that I was able to hang & chat with him for about 30 minutes while he was signing books. What a freakin blast..the man was really happy to chat about the state of affairs in the world.

Damn, I wish I had cable!!!
