Okay. Finally. I got my gratis copies of Slayer Slang, and the winners of free copies are:

LyraJane
Jon B.
Juliana
Cass
smonster
Nora Deirdre
Dana
amych

If any of y'all's addresses have changed in the past THREE MONTHS that it took me to GET these books, please let me know!

And for everyone else who wanted a copy, I'm sorry, but I DID find a stash of Roz Chast dictionary posters to use as consolation prizes, so watch your mail for one! (And also tell me if your address changed.)

Hey all.

I'm beta testing the registration for Wolfram & Hart Annual Revue this weekend, and will have an announcement as to when registrations will take place.

There are 325 spots available, and you are allowed ONE GUEST, whom you can register at the same time.

Tickets are $104 each (the four bucks is a processing fee).

Laistas, just a reminder-- Victor and Thessaly are in town, and a dinner is planned with them at the Rose Cafe, at 220 Rose in Venice, at 7:00 on Saturday. I will be calling to make a reservation tomorrow, so if you plan on being there and haven't told me so, please email me at my profile address.

sorry but my email to profile addy got bounced back: erinaceous, the lovely amyth gave me a copy of slayer slang already, so pass my copy down the line. if already sent, i will ship it to whoever you say.

thanks.

So, "Weaver" is shipping, according to Amazon.

And on the suggestion of my husband, who is a smartypants, I am offering a prize - a tour teeshirt featuring UK tour dates on the back and the logo of Broomfield Hill, the band headed by the book's protagonist - for the first verified on-shelf bookstore sighting.

Wheeee!

I'm going to be in Houston for Thanksgiving. As I'll be out there with family and my family is quite insane I'll be looking for reasons to not hang out with them.

I arrive on the 20th, and then leave on the 23rd, and then return on the 24, and I'm there until the 28th. Yes I know I'm gone for a day. I have to fly back to Los Angeles for an awards show, but I have to be in Houston on the 22nd for my sister's wedding, so there was no real way around it.

I'd love to see any Buffistas that are in the area.

BF and I are looking for a new place to live--LAistas and those who know LA folk, if you know of a large one or small two bedroom place in the NOHO or Burbank area going for less than $1,450, please email me at my profile addy. A small guesthouse or bungalow apartment would be ideal.

Birth control pill taking Buffistas--if anyone here uses Ortho-Tricyclen and would like free packets of pills, please email me. I was cleaning out my bathroom this weekend and found two unopened packets that expire in June '04. Since I won't be needing them for awhile, thought someone might like to save a little money.

Profile addy is good.

Anti Depressant taking Buffistas:

If any of you have Effexor you can't use could you drop me a note? Thanks.

My sister was on the local (Austin) Public Radio arts show for a story about the play she's in. It's called The Cry Pitch Carrolls.

Scroll down to the bottom of this page and click on the link under the graphic to hear sis talk about the play, and sing! (I had no idea she could do that so well).

Go see it Austinistas!
