Look! Adam Savage! Staying up late with David Letterman!

Oh just sitting in our living room with Adam’s GIANT HEAD.

Dave makes Adam laugh.

Adam makes Dave laugh.

I love this. I want a painting of this. Instead of my actual television.

Adam is one of my favorite people for a whole rainbow of reasons. First of all, Marco and I met at Adam’s wedding (at where he tied himself in a knot the lovely and witty and sharp-dressed Julia, pow!) close to four years ago now, a turn of events that I thank my lucky charms for each and every day.

Also Adam is pure awesome, a contagious laugher and thrower of the kind of all-night eating, wining, and dancing dinner parties that your teenaged you always hoped that grown-up you would be invited to.

And he’s also such a good story: The kind and chatty, juggling, card-throwing, unicycle-riding, people-loving maker of whips and R2D2s is desperately in need of a job, and one day he discovers himself…at a job where he chats and juggles and throws cards and meets new people and builds things! Adam’s life reads like an inspirational book for kids, with pages packed with adventure and pictures, pictures, pictures. A book your kids would love without even knowing that it was teaching them fundamental truths about how happy endings (the job, the girl, the guest spot on Letterman) can come from those weird fun hobbies that you obsess on and teach yourself and just love doing when you’re little.

Yay, Adam!!!
