"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Now, Muldering in a cave sounds fun.

All in all, I'd rather be Scullying.

Don't jaguars darken as they grow up? And still have to rosette pattern in the black?

( I can't keep my cats straight AT ALL.Panthers. Jaguars. Leopards? Huh.)

Also known as a hang-out for Tom Waits. The main things I remember about it are the cockroaches in the cashew machine and the oddball junk I had to step over to get to the men's room.

Who, from what I've heard, doesn't much appreciate being approached by fans, but has been known to strike up random conversations with the person next to him at the bar (not at this place, but in general).

Which quite possibly would be the coolest way to meet Tom Waits (and pretty much the only way I'd ever want to talk to him unless I was formerly introduced - I've got a real thing about not approaching people who I'm a fan of).

OK, now I get it: leopard=cat from asian & african continents. jag=south american. panther= a black coated jag OR leopard. Panther is not a species, just refers to color. I think.

It is always an awkward thing.

Ah, so I could have made the alliteration I wanted to: panther paternity problem!

Whichever. The picture? So damn cute.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It is always an awkward thing.

I almost swallowed my tongue talking to DJ Bonebrake (of X).

But talking with Bob Pollard (Guided by Voices) was fine since I was introduced and he wanted to talk about the Bubblegum book.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh god, speaking of being a fan, I found out last night that one of my Little School Friends is a huge Buffy/Angel fan. It was funny. He's even the kind of fan that watched Point Pleasant for Marti.

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

Approaching famous people has everything to do with what I want to say. I can love someone's work/face/talent to pieces, and have absolutely nothing intelligent to say about it. However, sometimes it doesn't have to be intelligent. "My friend wants her picture taken with you." and "What's your name?" have both led to interesting encounters.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'm sadly lacking an entourage. But I have mini M&M's.
