Neil Gaiman meets with Empire Interactive

Thursday, January 25th, 2007

Not exactly news, and more on the inferred gossip side of things, but whilst walking outside for a smoke at Minneapolis airport last Thursday night during a layover, I spotted a driver sporting a sign - ‘N. Gaiman – courtesy car from Empire Interactive’ (Empire is a games publisher). I asked the driver if it was the Neil Gaiman he was waiting for, and he answered yes, but was pretty non-committal after he ascertained that I wasn’t Him. Documented a blurry snap of the guy as flimsy evidence and walked out into the snow for a digestive. Would it be an American Gods beat-em up? A spin off from one of the new films, perhaps a children’s horror game? Some new property? Completely innocent visit or similarly thin association, say a book reading?

You can watch Neil Gaiman’s blog, but remember, you saw it here first (apologies to Mr Gaiman if the cat is out of the bag – consider traveling under a nom de plume perhaps – Mr Sandman?).
