A question for all Seattleistas:
The Seattle Barnes and Noble at University Village would love me to come up and do an event. Alack, the dates they have in mind are either 7 or 8 January, which happen to be a Wednesday and Thursday night. This means the 7th would be the date, since I have to be back in SF to take my multiple sclerosis meds on Thursday night; the 8th is out.
The suggestion is that I find a second venue up there - Borders, a good independent, etc - and try for a Tuesday night reading as well. That would make flying up viable.
So, a couple/few queries:
1. Can someone up there house me, if I get in on Monday or Tuesday night, 5th or 6th January?
2. Has someone got a non-Barnes and Noble store they'd like to rec?
3. Can any/all of you come to those readings, and bring a friend or three?
Thanks, all, and soonest is best. Email works: sf_deb@yahoo.com
So, as you know, I was laid off, but am working until the end of the month.
I have an interview tomorrow morning. 9AM (6AM board time). Please send vibes, y'all! Vibes that (a) they want to hire me (b) they want to pay me good and (c) they dont' need me to start until, oh, say, January.
Somervillians, I'm once again pimping my singer-songwriter friend Naomi Sommers at you. She's really amazingly good! Go see her -- she's got two shows tomorrow:
Wednesday, November 5
8pm
Abbey Lounge
1 Beacon St, Somerville, MA (Inman Square)
11pm
All Asia Cafe
334 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA (Central Square)
Sigh. The interview-ma was apparently either misdirected, or trying to tell me it was not a good job, because the interview was blechhhhhh. And they thought so too.
So, -ma for something else, better, please! :)
Bay Area Buffistas---
I'm making arrangements for what I'll be doing in San Francisco next week (Tues-Wed). If you'd like to get together, I'll be discussing things in the Peoplesforum F2F thread.
Hugs and -ma to all and sundry!
Just dropping in to let y'all know that my story "The Ichthyomancer Writes His Friend With an Account of the Yeti's Birthday Party" is in the newest issue of Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet, along with a host of other great stuff. If you'd like to own a copy of your very own, check your local zine- or genre-friendly bookstore, or order it from the site; they take PayPal.
Got off the phone with my mother a short while ago.
My grandmother died last night at about 1 in the morning. She was 87.
I would like to request the patented Buffista jobma at 2:00 Eastern time today. I've got an interview for a job that sounds really challenging and interesting. And I'm really ready to go back to work now.
I'm going dark until Sunday because I'm going to SF! Whee!!
After tonight, I'll be mostly dark as I head West. Will be checking my e-mail, and will be calling my secret ninja contacts in the LAista scene when I'm over there.
