That's a very good question, and I have posed it to him. We'll see what his response is...  |

I thought one had plenty of time to rest when you're dead...
Live for today cause you have no idea what awaits you tomorrow... or something like that.

LMD it very much seems that way doesn't it?  It's great that he's so dedicated. Wishing Dirk and his fans who are able to see him a great time at these upcoming events

I have to agree with you, WelshPoppy30. It's wonderful!
And I'm happy to share that I'll be one of the fans who gets to meet him (again) in Edinburgh in November.

LMD it really is, and that's fab that you will get to meet him again
Elainesteel wishing you a fab time also
Keira, hopefully he will be able to visit near you sometime, like yourself I'm not able to make Edinburgh but if he is able to visit the UK again in the future, and as John suggested it helps to get in touch with the organisers of these events to invite him. It is a lot of travelling and of course we wish him good health and a good rest for however long he feels he needs it

I can now confirm that Dirk will be in Chicago. No, resting is not in his lexicon for November....

He loves his fans. The money he does make doesn't hurt, of course (there are costs associated with these appearances, too).

Re: Dirk appearing at DAYS OF THE DEAD in chicago on november 16th-18th
Beyond covering his otherwise unreimbursed expenses, I really don't know what Dirk does with his money, Keira. I know he does give to charity, but he's pretty tight-lipped about what he gives to.
