Max Maven found out rather suddenly last Thursday that he needed to have bypass surgery. He's in Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles, feeling pretty good.

His heart is strong and his doctors expect him to make a full recovery.

Unfortunately this means he will miss FFFF, the Collector's Convention in Chicago (where he was scheduled to speak), and also several performances of his one-man show which had been previously scheduled.

Max is online via his laptop while in the hospital and would happy to read your best wishes here.

Hoping for a speedy recovery!

Max -- As a guy with five stents, all I can say is all the B.S. you're going through is a lot better than the alternative would have been just a few years ago.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Matt Field

Max, speedy recovery to you! Wishing you back on your feet soon and I'm sending positive thoughts your way!

Paul Pacific

Hope all goes well and you recover quickly. Best wishes.

This is a heck of a way to prove to your detractors what many of us have always known: That you do indeed have a heart.

Take care and well see you soon!
Dustin

Max, Here's wishing you a speedy and comfortable recovery!

Dear Max,

Max, could'nt you see this coming??? ;)

You have NO idea who I am, but without even realizing it, you've been among my "magic-mentors" for years.

Your example has been stellar, Sir. You are one-of-a-kind. We need you, your brain, AND your heart, up and around a.s.a.p.

Here's predicting this thing is basically a formality and you'll breeze through it with the suavitee and aplomb for which you are reknowned.

With ALL Best Wishes for SPEED and EASE in recovery,

That'll teach you to avoid Buffy and her "Mr. Pointy."

Anyway, like everyone before me, here's wishing you a rapid recovery...

Hi Max, met you in orange county a while back. I have always enjoyed your take on the arts, wish you a speedy and comfortable recovery and get back to work as soon as you are able the community needs you. Thanks Scott B.

I was looking forward to seeing you this week. I hope that your recovery is quick. You are in my thoughts. You still have much good work to do.

Doc

Max, you gotta stop eating the Castle Chili at those board meetings!

Seriously, best of luck and care with your procedure. My dad had it (angiogram and plasty with stints) and was a new man. My father in law had a triple by-pass and was really a new man. Amazing recovery.

We will muddle through on Tuesday at the Castle perks but will be expecting you back for the next one. And it really will be about that fast.


Take care.

Kirk Grodske

Max, make sure you get a PROFESSIONAL heart surgeon.

Talk about a "center tear"!

Best wishes, Max. Get well soon.

Dear Max,

I know your procedure is on Monday. Would you be available on Wednesday to do a show for our annual banquet? The fee would be our standard $50 & a meal, and you could room with the club treasurer. Please let me know ASAP.

All kidding aside, Charlene and I will be thinking of you, and wish you a speedy recovery.

All the best,

Hi Max:
Was looking forward to seeing you in Chicago and hearing another of your always interesting talks. Sorry to hear this had to be done, but they did the 'complete number' on me ten years ago and all's been well since; it's worth it. We'll all be thinking of you in Chicago and, who knows, I just might be prevailed upon to join Matt in that drink! Here's to a quick recovery... Cheers! -Jim Alfredson
