Chikat, I'd try. Noise ordinances or something. Or if your city has a non-emergency line (we have, um 311? I think?) I'd call them and ask for advice.

I knew what a guerrilla was long before I could spell it (thanks to central american messes) and it lead to some early strange images.

Still have frozen naan uneaten. I really need to make up another batch of jasmine rice, then I'll have palak paneer and the orange chicken.

I honestly expect that Allyson could get some sniffs from interviewy types, because of all this reaction.

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

god, I love the spell check feature on Firefox
It's brilliant!

and by trivial, I mean my grocery list
Not trivial, you should shop for me. But it's not as good news as the thrilling test news. YAY!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Of all the booky people around here, erinaceous is the one whose books would be most comparable to yours (from a marketing standpoint). So I would exploit her as a resource if I were you. And since I have personally exploited her as a resource on my last book (when she helped set up my Chicago reading), I think you'll be in good hands.

I imagine erinaceous wouldn't hesitate to help....

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

I imagine erinaceous wouldn't hesitate to help....

Yeah, I think she might have an angle to work there.

Not that erinaceous requires a lot of persuasion. She's naturally very helplful.

Art Crawl!!!

Allyson - that's excellent news!

The status is NOT quo.

Just think, Allyson--the next time we get a massive flood of newbies, they might very well be your fans.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Way to go, Allyson!

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

...and we'll have this entire navelgazey debate over whether or not to open and Allysonverse thread.

Jesse, back at ya.

yep. Guerra is Spanish for war and "illa" is one of many diminutives. When I read that it seemed so obvious, given that I knew, like sarameg, the word before I could read it. But the word guerrilla is much older than the central american messes and actually was first used in English papers during the Spanish-American War.

I have Chicken Tikka Masala, rice and naan fresh from the tandoor. Take that taunty, Lee! AND I have an appointment at Burke Williams tomorrow. So I see your Naan and raise you a facial.
