I get to have dinner with Temple Grandin!

Post Reply New Topic

Oh my goodness! Next Tuesday Temple Grandin is coming to Vermont and giving three lectures and the third was a fundraiser for our Humane Society and tickets were $100 and there was also a raffle. And my mom entered me in the raffle without telling me and I won! So I get to eat dinner with her and then see her third lecture! I'm so excited but I'm really nervous too...

Yay!
Good for you!

Very cool!! !! !!

So Jealous! She's awesome, a true pioneer and steady voice of reason in this (our?) community.

I'd give her a high five if I met her and she would like that, but I know better than to do that...

I'm just worried that I won't think of anything to talk about or I get so nervous that I can't talk. I really hope that there will be more outgoing people at the table too.

That's really cool.

That's super exciting. I'd love an opportunity to meet her in person.

Eat like a pig to annoy her.

(She'll say something. Prepare a witty and scathing remark beforehand.)

Not a fan.

I had the honor of having dinner with John Elder Robison.

We talked about trains and his views on aspergers, cures, autism speaks, new treatments, very fascinating.

Enjoy

Right on!

Go OP!

At least you'll get to know if she's a carnivore even though she worked with cows

Not bad! You did real good, so congratulations!

Greaaat!! ! Now don't be a tease and tell us all when you're back!

Awesome. Hope you enjoy. She's very cool. I've had the pleasure of knowing her for years and always have a great time when we run into each other.

How awesome! I'm feeling very jealous.

That's frickin awesome. I wish I was going to be there too.
