Okay. So. Let's recap what we know:

1) Wil Wheaton—beloved author, geek icon, blogger, Gordie Lachance, and Wesley Crusher—is here, in Portland, at this very moment.

2) Wil Wheaton's character on Leverage has "a lot of shoes."

Wil, the number at the Portland Mercury is 503-294-0840. We are delighted to have you in town. Call us and we will take you out for a beer, or several beers. There is a bar right next door to the Mercury offices.

Holy fucking shit. Wesley Crusher. Say, didn't I also just see him as a porn addict in Serial Mom?

Feh. Don't even get me started Will, on Erik and Twitter.

FYI. I just told Wil on his blog about the Merc and the beers and you, Erik and linked to this post.

Because I am an asshole.

Love, Kiala

Will, you have a blog?

Perhaps Erik stalks people on Twitter, like I do, but it morally opposed to getting it himself.
