Surely, in San Francisco, some of the larger indie stores are having big events and you can have the best of both worlds?
I'm in Oakland! I don't want to go into the bloody city to have my fun!
Here's more info on it: [link]
Neat!
Zoe: Captain will come up with a plan. Kaylee: That's good. Right? Zoe: Possibly you're not recalling some of his previous plans.

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."

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I wish I could come down there just for Friday night.
I have a couch if'n you want it.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Toddson, that's since been resolved -- ASDA Walmart will be carrying it. It was a dispute over money (of course) where both sides threw their toys out of the pram. Then realised their profits went with them.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Chicagoistas--I will be at the Hilton Gardens in Evanston this weekend. Are there nearby bookstores where I could pick up the book? I am hoping to read it on the flight home and have assumed I won't have to reserve a copy and can just stroll in somewhere and pick one up. BTW, I would love to see all of you, but I will be at a family reunion and EVERY FREAKING SECOND is scheduled with events involving many many people I share the same DNA with. I am not exaggerating.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
