lisah, that kicks ASS. Go you guys!
Now I need to have lunch. I would like pizza. I should eat an apple with peanut butter. Hmmmm.
Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

I'm very excited about it. The City Paper is known for being kind of mean sometimes so I was pretty worried about what would actually come out. A few of my quotes are a little mangled and she misquoted some lyrics (and I look a little dorky in the photo in the print edition) but aside from that we are VERY pleased. Even though we love our little record we were not expecting to get this much attention at all.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
A teacher where I grew up was acquitted of pedophilia and I testified in his defense. Of course, his life was all but ruined and he never got to coach again.
He'd preferred coaching girls, he felt they were by and large more dedicated athletes and not in it to impress people half as much as the boys. Boy did THAT sound perverted once the allegations went down.
Hundreds of parents and students backed him up and it had nothing to do with denial. It was because they trusted him and wanted to show their support. If he'd had a theme park at his house we'd have all gone over.

Woohoo lisah! That's awesome.
I'm hoping to come if I don't have an attack of Avoiding the Humans.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What bearing does this have on Michael Jackson's innocence? On anyone's innocence?
Of course innocent people are accused of crimes. As are guilty. I don't see your train of thought ...

Thanks! Would love to see you there but totally understand the need to Avoid. Especially at the end of the week.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Yeah, but in this case, he admitted what he'd done, many, many boys came forward, he was convicted of raping a 13-year-old boy, and some parents STILL thought there must be some mistake. Denial when someone is innocent isn't denial, it's facing the truth--which is the opposite of what I was talking about.

Also, upon reading amych's COMMed post (because I'm slow on the uptake sometimes,) I envisioned a groundhog in a cowboy hat and Jesse's glasses typing at a laptop.
I think I may have snorted.

I swear I'm not really a rodent. Or a cowgirl. But I do wear glasses, and use a laptop. Please adjust your mental images accordingly.

Yeah, if you were a rodent Homer would probably have turned you into a cat treat and so you wouldn't be posting! You'd be dead!
