Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

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."

Compassionately intolerant

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.

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.

That which does not kill you should RUN

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?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Sign me up, David. It'll be a good excuse to hit bookstores and Reckless Records and other places my budget doesn't really allow me to go right now.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Well, I've ordered three copies, but I'm sure I can pimp, too!

The wide universe is the ocean I travel, and the earth is my blue boat home

I ended up skimming to the end of Twilight. It lost me for two reasons:

1. The vampires were just TOO special. Too much beauty and too many superpowers without enough weak points.

2. The relationship between Edward and Bella was just a bit too much Destined Soulmates for my tastes. I mean, he was first drawn to her because she smelled different?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

David, I know the manager of Atlanta's "most likely to be Tom Waits fans" music venue.

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

Suh-weet! Adding Cincy and Atlanta and putting brenda on the Supersexy Pimper List.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Hec, send me cards and I shall pimp Portland.

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

Thanks, Cass! And bonny too. DC is big and spread out. It needs two pimp-persons.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

I hope it goes w/o saying, but I'm down for distributing in Austin, Mr. Smay.
