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."

Because books.

Yeah. My one contribution to that slapfight was pointing out to him that, for a professional communicator, he was having to do an awful lot of clarification and restatement, and that might kinda sorta be a problem.
Did he respond to that? (I ask mostly out of curiousity, for in all the times where I've seen that particular point made to people, I've never seen anyone say, "Damn. You're right. I'm not being clear.")

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
IIRC, his response was something akin to "no, it's just that everyone else won't understand what I mean!"

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I can strategically place some postcards 'round the Boston/Cambridge/Somerville area, David. Shoot 'em my way.

move out and draw fire
Hec, I note you didn't include the cultural wasteland of WashDC/NoVA on List of Places to Pimp Book, but if you'd like, I'd be happy to seed bookstores and Starbucks (plus clones) and books-and-music stores with your postcards.

Yo! Send them on and I will put them in LA places I frequent, like Golden Apple Comics, Meltdown Comics, local comic shop (Earth 2), Amoeba (if I make it over there - that place is nuts!), and others.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Sweet!
Yes, Raq, DC would be great.
Thanks, Jon and GC! Awww, Buffistas are the pimpingest.

Raq speaks for me!
David, I am on personal terms with Capitol Hill's favorite bookstore and am within walking of 2 Starbuck's. Plus various Hill Crowd haunts. I'd be happy to pimp your book.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Hec, you DEFINITELY want me to pimp your book here: [link] (Look closer -- it's fucking awesome.)
Not only is it in Cincy, but it's now as close to my new house as Amoeba is to your apartment. So hit me with the postcards, hey?
