#### The worst sound I've ever heard is "Ray Bradbury is dead".

In honour of one of the greatest storytellers who's ever lived, I'll be throwing a Toxic Moon party (since it's the closest thing we've got to Mars) tonight at 8 pm EST. Everyone who has ever found a best friend in one of his stories is invited to attend.

- It might be more like 8:15 before I get home, but I would love to attend. I'll IM you when I get in game if that's OK. I wish there was a way I could bring some dandelion wine.

- What a loss, but what a treasure trove of reading (and rereading) he left us!

- It's very sad for the world to lose such an amazing man, but I like to think that he is somewhere with wonder and joy for him to experience forever.

- I've never read any Ray Bradbury, that I'm aware of, but I'm still saddened by this news. The loss of any iconic artist is always saddening.

- I don't really feel overly sad about his passing. He lived a long life. He gave all of us so very much pleasure. I have RL friends who knew him fairly well. I will definitely miss him. I hope you're right welfy. And I agree with Mollie. I will do some rereading in his honor.

- This has been a tough year on my childhood, with the losses of Maurice Sendak, Carroll Shelby, and Ray Bradbury all so close together (yes, I had a strange childhood).

- I hear you, Essie. Even my first car was a 1967 Shelby Mustang!

- Holy crap!!! He died yesterday??? Yesterday, I decided to start reading Dandelion Wine again...that's so weird. Ray Bradbury is an amazing writer. I credit him for truly teaching me to live in the moment

- I met Ray about 10 years ago, just briefly. What a young at heart soul he seemed to me. He drove a big black Cadillac (iirc) with the license plate "451 F". My autographed 1st edition of that book is a treasured posession.
  What a sad day.
