Sometimes it's good to meet your heroes. 

WBEZ, Chicago's wonderful public radio station, brought director Rob Reiner to Chicago on Sept. 17, as part of its Events series. Reiner is the author of the new book "A Fine Line Between Stupid and Clever: The Story of Spinal Tap." 

Some 800 people filled The Music Box to hear Reiner discuss all things "Spinal Tap," along with share a few stories about "The Princess Bride," "The American President" and more. Like when Harrison Ford built his bookshelves.

It was a real thrill to share the stage with Rob Reiner. Thank you so much to WBEZ and the entire events team, Mary Dixon, Exile in Bookville and The Music Box.

And thank you to David Kindler (@dtkindlerphoto) for the photo, Marco Morales for the podcast's audio postproduction and David Nagler for the theme music.
