Why do I find out about these things a week later? What happened? How can I make it better?

So not your fault. Not anybody's fault. Just one of those things. Statistically, one is never going to have a 100% smiles and giggles factor for tarot readings. People will freak out.

She didn't even say anything bad about Mr. Tarot Reader, just cried a lot and kept running to the bathroom. At first I thought this was because she just couldn't cope with my sexay accent, but then realised it was because she'd just had her cards read.

I imagine that her reading wasn't what she wanted or expected to hear, and I can't comment further than that. I was a bit pissed at the time, but purely in a "girl is crying, must offer hugs" way, as even my general "are you okay?" comments (as in, "are you having a good time here?") were setting off the water works.

But hey, she had a FANTASTIC time at your party, and after 10:30 ish the tears were gone and not mentioned again. In fact, replaced with a rather sweet fangirl grin for much of the evening. I have photographic proof.

Every other person that I know of being read seemed very happy. Given that you can't exactly get a tarot reader to an event and tell him to only say nice stuff (that would defeat the object of the fortune-telling, no?), I'd say it was definitely a fun thing to have had at the party.

How to make it better? Um.... Maybe more Tarot pimping earlier on (he was twiddling his thumbs at the start of the night, and faced with a lengthy queue later on in the evening) so as to enable more Tartot tunaround. Maybe provide a more intimate setting? One thing that put me off having my cars read was the open-ness of the table just *there*. but maybe that's just me. I'm annoyingly super-secret and private at times.

Edited: due to guilt as I am simultanously *headdesking* at OT Thread Hijackers over at The Fuselage, I feel i should add:

I am very very excited that I will be seeing a Serenity Trailer soon!

"girl is crying, must offer hugs"

See, now, I see "girl crying" and my inner-Cher slaps her and yells, "SNAP OUT OF IT."

*snerk*

That may have worked.

On the other hand, it may have got me a black eye to go with my Evil Shaving Cut Of Doom.

Heh. I love this typo.

Great Interview with Nathan and Adam.

Very nice interview Tamara linked.

But how soon they forget.

But I understood the rhythm and the dialect immediately because it was from the kind of movies my father took me to when I was young. I was a big Warren Oats fan, Eli Wallach fan, guys like that. Struther Martin. So it rang my chimes, and I think there was that synergy with Joss from the get-go.

Warren Oates. Strother Martin.

I noticed several instances of transcribing errors.

Overall it was fun to read Nathan and Adam teasing each other. :)

Heh. I love this typo.

I am not The Man of Party, and The Boy of Typo.

The trailer will be on the Apple Movie Trailers site today at 1:00 PST.

email from Joss to Herc (of AICN):

Herc -- yes it's me […] again. Here's th' vital info: The trailer goes up at 1:00 pm PST tomorrow [Tuesday]. Sing it to the world.

That piece about the trailer in AICN was awfully disrespectful of you, I thought. It made us out to be butt-buddies, which apart from that one magical night under the stars is TOTALLY untrue.

Later on, -j.

Uhm, ewwww?
