Buffistas

Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

The Minearverse 3: The Network Is a Harsh Mistress

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

If I hadn't just skimmed a bit, would I understand that better? (I already switched the "p" out for an "o")

Probably not. Last time I came to SoCal, I read poetry with Viggo, Saul Williams, Regie Gibson, Patricia Smith and many other people, any one of whom could pack a house. The organizers of the event kind of flipped out, and very rudely turned away about two times as many people as they were able to admit, including Lee and Aimee. I was terribly disappointed, but they were taken off on some sort of drunken adventure with poet friends of mine from OC, and we met up with them again later at Denny's, which was very cool.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

We had a great time too, even though not getting to see the poetry reading was disappointing.

Cool. I hope I get a chance to see you both.

Damn well better! One of the gigs is a salon type thing at an LA writer's house. It's not going to be advertised as such, but I'm going to see to it that the LAistas get an invite. Also, somewhere in there, I seem to have promised both my wife and my friend Rachel Kann--the coolest fucking poet in Los Angeles--dinner at Toi on Sunset, so we'll definitely be around.

Aww.

Yay.

And thank you for the synopsis. And have a fantastic tour/time in Jan/Feb. (Apparently I'm all about the slash tonight)

Yay! I definitely want to see a reading if it works out, and if a dinner (at Toi or elsewhere) works out too, that would rock.

Details of our journey are forthcoming. I will definitely be in touch.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

From today's San Francisco Examiner "Remote Patrol":

Best show you can't watch because it got canceled: Fox's "Wonderfalls" -- Damn you, Fox! Was "Playing it Straight" and "The Complex: Malibu" worth sacrificing this terrific show? I think not.
