Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Art Crawl!!!

Yes, I believe that the painting has been famous longer than either of those things.

Fragile consisted entire or almost entirely of things that had already been published elsewhere. He even turned his one-off comic "Harlequin" into a short story. [I did not much care for it in either version.]"Sunbird", an homage to R.A. Lafferty gets Lafferty's voice down almost perfectly. [Close enough for me to say he should have cut out the last sentence, but great none-the-less.]

If you mean "Harlequin Valentine", it was a short story before it was a comic.

OK - too me-centric there. I saw it first as a comic, assumed that was how it started out.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Ok. Finished American Gods. I liked it. Not usually my cup of tea, but I enjoyed it enough to want to read Anansi Boys when we get a copy. Maybe I'll try Neverwhere. I'll have to re-read in order to say anything more than, "I liked it." But I'm like that with most books.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Awesome! And that book sounds really cool, too.
