And, of course, now that I'm back Seattle has a series of visits from some Very Special Guests:
September 9(?)-11: Erik, my erstwhile roommate, will cap off his driving tour of the Left Coast here in Seattle. I'm not quite sure when he'll get here and neither is he; Friday or Saturday, most likely. Seattleites! I say unto thee: be around to entertain my out of town friend, for verily he will appreciate your particular brand of madness.
October 3: Erin McKeown, who is tiny but sings with voice enough to topple Jericho, travels as some dude's opening act. All opening acts should be reffered to as "heralds," but that's besides the point. The point is that I'll go see her play anyway, because Erin is worth it alone, and the other guy might be good.
October 4: Neil Gaiman, a man who I don't have as much to say as I ought, will be here that evening to sign his new book. I will be there to have said new book signed. Possibly other books as well.
October 19: Dar Williams, who probably doesn't remember me, is going to hit Seattle a month after her new album does. I haven't seen Dar play in much, much, much too long. I don't always think about it, but when I do it makes me sad. Seeing Dar again will make me happy.
That is all.

I just finished to read american gods recently I have to say I liked it even though it was a bit short.

Short? Man, I think you're the only person I know who's said that. Me, I thought it was just a little bit too long.

I don't know that there's anything I would've cut, Gus, so much as I just thought it was longer than I would've liked it to be.
It's not that the book didn't work for me - I loved it - I just get a little annoyed at books that are that long.
Bekah - yeah, but tickets seem sold-out already, or some such.
