notes and reminders

[iridium]

. gym with fyfer, tomorrow
. potluck/dinner party on thursday, maybe
. Fruit is playing a short show in San Rafael at 6pm this thursday. i'm pretty sure i can't make it, but they look interesting.
. on friday, Jethro Tull plays at the Paramount (but i'm not going because the cheap tickets are $55), King Cobra plays at the Hemlock, and Harvest, a play which asarwate described as a 'dark comedy about organ harvesting in India' (and he should know, 'cause he's in it) opens at the Durham Studio Theater, Dwinelle Hall, on Berkeley campus. i'll probably go to one of the latter two shows.
. saturday there's a clothing swap and also Writers with Drinks, at which Peter S. Beagle (along with several others) will be reading/speaking
. and then on sunday i want to make time for doing art or making things. but possibly i will just sleep, instead, or have hot chocolate with little marshmallows or coffee ice cream in it.

also, so that i don't lose track of it:
Serenity fanfic, from coraline. contains spoilers.

Oooh. Any more info you can share about the Writers with Drinks?

Of course, I'd be even happier if I'd freaking get my copies of The Last Unicorn and such that I ordered from Peter's publisher. I'm very very very annoyed with them. Ah well.

[cortneyofeden.livejournal.com]

OK, I'm lame. But I found it.

Hmm, we shall see.

yeah, i'm still waiting on my copies of The Last Unicorn and Two Hearts. the publisher was pretty good about responding to email this spring/early summer, but i haven't heard anything from them since june or july. i'm pretty grumpy about that, too.

so, wanna come out to Writers with Drinks?

I even got a freaking message on my answering machine from Connor Cochran himself, but haven't been able to get a response since. Yeah, not impressed.

I had a brain fart and forgot that I have plans for Saturday night already. I get to go see Ira Glass and Chris Ware. Yay.

re: Ira Glass -- neat! though i'm sorry i won't see you at WWD.

re: Cochran -- bah. yeah, one of these days when i have a little free time, i'll bug him again. i want my book, dammit.

If there is ANY way you can make it to Fruit, I say GO!
Could you get the dinner party to come to the show?
They are really fabulous, and while they tour the States a fair amount (during the Aussie winter, primarily - I'm surprised they're still up here) they don't necessarily hit the big cities every time. They have a fabulous presence "Live".

given all the good things i've heard about them, i would *really* like to see them. but getting from Berkeley (work) -> Oakland (my house & car) -> San Rafael (up over the north-bay bridge -- 25 min w/o traffic, 1.5+ hrs with bad traffic) at ~5-6pm on a weekday is...well, just about impossible. especially given that i've been working until 7 or 8pm most days lately.

*very sad*

...maybe next time.
thanks for the further recommendation, though. :)

Chris and I were planning to go to Writers With Drinks - see you there if you go (and you should go).

sounds good. any interest in getting dinner beforehand or
somesuch?

[fyfer.livejournal.com]

Ooh, hm. We were planning to cook dinner. Actually, want to come over here for food beforehand? I'll check to see if that's ok with Chris. Or maybe we could get food in the city, or drinks after, or who knows.

sounds pretty good to me, either way.
i'm meeting up with a friend at the farmer's market earlier on Saturday afternoon, and was thinking of going to deedeebythebay's clothing swap, but dinner after that would be perfect.
