A dream of a thousand Bertha's Kitty Boutiques?

Here's a pairing I never would have expected. In a recent "Post to the Host" from "A Prairie Home Companion's" website, Garrison Keillor relates the story of his meeting Neil Gaiman:

I met Neil Gaiman once at the Mabel Tainter Theater in Menomonie, Wisconsin. Actually in the basement. [...] He is much younger and extremely handsome and has an accent, so he presents well, and I am — well, I am what I am — and we carried on a little dialogue about professional things, the faded old writer tipping the rising young one [...] and then a young woman recognized him and got weak in the knees and that was the end of our meeting. He's a very witty and complex writer and I wish him all the best.

Just think of all those unproduced Guy Noir scripts in the Dreaming's library....
