I met Ray Bradbury when I was seven. He said I was a little weird and he told me to go out and get weirder.

@ElleGray Drove out to nearby Waukegan library just to see this sculpture of Ray Bradbury, which I must admit, is fricking brilliant....

#RayBradbury

@Badger_AF that's fantastic
@ElleGray I don't know about the origin or the idea, but it so encapsulates Ray Bradbury and the power of books.
@Badger_AF @ElleGray How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Martians
@Caution @Badger_AF no joke at all, I read all those stories when I was about nine and I'm positive they completed solidified my feelings about aliens (fascinating and very, very cool)
@ElleGray @Badger_AF Hard same, though I was trying to invoke a mashup of the Chronicles and Dr Strangelove.
