p.s. Hey. I’m back, and it’s mid-ish September, which means that the blog’s gradual post-shaped countdown to Halloween commences. ** Monday ** David Ehrenstein, Hi, D. I can’t see Loserboy’s tat to save my life, but I’m still one cup of coffee away from being fully me. ** Bill, Oh? Pray tell. Oh, you mean the Berlin post escorts. That’s weird, interesting, and rings a bell. Nice about you doing visuals for EKG. I know their stuff a little and like it a bunch. And Thomas Koner: I haven’t thought about him in ages. Anyway, it sounds to have been ace, and any chance to get a look at the evidence of your EKG visuals? Great news about the tour. Where are you gigging? ** Thomas Moronic, Hi, T! Sorry I haven’t written to you yet. I was off in the busy headspace of working. Soon. Your novel is out, real, a grab! Congrats, man, and I’m excited to mark the occasion with said post. Whenever is good for you. Love, me. ** Steevee, Yeah, that’s why I liked him. Well, that and the Cradle of Filth t-shirt. Unbelievable that Greyson/Loubani have still not been released. What in the world is going on? Scary madness. ** Misanthrope, Nice to get a gauge of your hardcoreness if you’re telling the truth, ha ha. No, truth is your middle name, so, yeah, you are a man of admirable integrity and self-control. ** Grant maierhofer, Hi, Grant. Things are going really good, man. The projects that occasioned the Loire trip all advanced in exciting ways. Well, I hope somebody films it too. Surely, you can ask someone to, at the very least, vacate their cellphone’s memory and hold it up/point. Sweet that you’re doing a BSC post. Such a terrific site, and I love this series that C. Higgs is putting it through. Exley and ‘TMS’, curious. I’ll think about that. Aw, thanks for the very kind words. Mm, between the ‘TMS’ ARC and the book itself I did just a little refining that would probably be invisible to anyone but me, and there were some layout mistakes that got corrected, but the differences are reasonably slight, I think. Yeah, I too am really, really excited to see/read ‘300,000,000.’ Best Wednesday ever to you. ** Sypha, Hi, James. I guessed right about Tom Daley, cool. What are your and Misa’s theories, eh? ** Rewritedept, If I know you, which, admittedly, I do and don’t simultaneously, ‘desperate and ugly’ will be less so or not any day now, if not already. Oh, money, ugh. I’m hopeless with it. Got home safe, or all evidence points to that conclusion. ** Tuesday ** David Ehrenstein, Brautigan was such a cultural superstar and ubiquitous dude/name back in the day, in a way you don’t get anymore now that fiction is more sidelined. I guess Tao Lin would be the closest. ** Tosh Berman, I read and loved Brautigan when I was a teen, but I was kind of hippieish for a while, or my hair and clothes were. I haven’t reread him in ages, but maybe his combo of sweetness, too-clever-ness, and a bit of dark swirl inside is still pretty cool He seems to be being read again to a degree he wasn’t for decades, so … ** Rewritedept, Hi. See, today was ok/better, I knew it or ‘knew’ it. I’m home today, yep. Helium, wow, I should spin them again. Funny that I’m linked with Mazzy Star. What a curious combo. I was never into them. I mean, I had nothing at all against them, I just never got seduced into actually buying any of their stuff. Too soft for my mood at the time maybe. Talk soonish, yes. ** _Black_Acrylic, Hi, Ben. Never having done jury duty, I imagine it being better than job working, I guess because you could read books or play app games or something. ** Steevee, Hi. Hope your friend’s plan panned out or is panning out or something positive. ** Okay, we’re up to speed. Enjoy the dawning of the blog’s interference by Halloween. I’m off now to this big annual amusement park industry Expo with much adrenaline coursing through my amusement park-loving veins or whatever. See you tomorrow.
