Actually I've never met Joel. I've seen him perform there but never actually talked to him. He doesn't hang out there much. I talk to Gerry all the time though. He's really cool. I actually started magic when I saw a show there when I was about ten. I went home and learned a trick from, "Mark Wilson's Little Book of Card Tricks." For Christmas that year my Grandpa bought me a present there.
Anyway, it's a really cool place. A few months ago I met Wayne Houchin there. He signed my copies of DisTorion and Stigmata. Later I went to his lecture.
