I'll be reading with Kim "In The Aeroplane Over the Sea" Cooper and Scott "If You're Feeling Sinister" Plagenhoef at the Hammer Museum in LA tomorrow evening at 7 pm. It's free! The reading will include a video or two of Richard & Linda Thompson making music plus some audio comparisons of RT's music and a snippet of an interview. If you're in LA, please come! If you're not in LA, I think there's some cheap last-minute tickets available.

My profile addy is good, though it looks like the nearest Buffista lives more than 90 miles away.
I have 3 Nightmare Before Christmas promo iPod skins that I got at the Halloween showing of NBC in 3-D. It is pictured in this auction [link] (note: this is not my auction and I don't think these work for an iPod touch). First 3 who email me can have them - I'll ship for free. Happy Halloween!
UPDATE: All gone.

Mom update: She had heart rate problems yesterday, but these seem to have resolved, and she's getting more energetic and ornery, albeit still with her eyes closed most of the time. Thank you, everyone!
Through this all, she managed to vote, so if you haven't already, and are USian, go vote!

My mom is continuing to improve. She's tired and weak and cranky and her sense of time is a bit wonky, but she's talking more and has been sitting up and even out of bed with help. Thank you so much for all of the ~ma and support. You guys rock like a thing that rocks.

St. John’s Episcopal Church

St. John's was one of the most supportive in the fight to defeat Prop 8. Their massive No on 8 sign was vandalized and slashed. Rally in support of the church!
