Everyone says it's a lot like Madison. <br/><br/>I was working at Madison's Half Price Books back when Slacker came out in 1991. We gave away tix so I got to take a bunch of my friends for free. It was spooky how much it felt like my own life, including a scene in a HPB store. <br/><br/>Years later, I was at the photo section meeting at SAA in Philly. The chair of the section had a voice that seemed familiar, but I couldn't quite place it. Turns out it was John Slate -- who played the conspiracy guy in the book store scene of Slacker. The scene that was filmed at Half Price Books. I made him sign my badge. Seriously. <br/><br/><i>Small world, no?</i><br/><br/>P.S. Thanks for the kudos, it made my day. Thanks, Ben!

I was working at Madison’s Half Price Books back when Slacker came out in 1991. We gave away tix so I got to take a bunch of my friends for free. It was spooky how much it felt like my own life, including a scene in a HPB store.

Small world, no?

P.S. Thanks for the kudos, it made my day.
