Yep. Missed it.
"Political activism is seductive because it seems to offer the possibility that one can improve society, make things better, without going through the personal ordeal of rearranging one's perceptions and transforming one's self."
-Tom Robbins
Which quote appears at the top of the DivaNation mailing list message I gots a few days back. Among the show listings:
thu Oct 30
POINTY TEETH @ UNITED CENTER for the BLACKHAWKS warmup
(details to follow)
*? time? • PRESTON KLIK's POINTY TEETH RITUAL featuring Alex Duvel +Tiombe +JasonK
Damn, I suck.
But who needs the Blackhawks when you can see the Wolves?
Which I'll be doing tonight, in the process missing:
fri Oct 31 See Mona Jethmalani on the runway on Halloween Night at the 2003 Masquerade Ball, featuring fashion designs from Wanda Cobar (Mona's modeling her designs), Delma Via, Anne Schuller, Victor Miller, Susie Ivey, Rosa Martinez, and Margarita Carrillo. Tickets are $30 including food, dance, and costume contests! Doors @ 7pm, bar/food @ 8-9, show @ 10. Be sure to come dressed up!
info @ 708-442-2700
I'm sure Neogrammarian will agree that seeing Mona modeling beats hockey -- or most other things -- easily.
Damn, I suck.
Want to know more? Swear I just linked the Karma Sutra page at IUMA a few days back. Mona's the singer, Amy's the percussion, Preston is the Preston.
Comments
Look. It's an easy equation. Hockey = no midriffs. Mona = very nice midriff indeed.
Any questions?

Where's the quote from (i.e. fiction or interview)? It sounds like something out of Still Life with Woodpecker, but I'm not sure from memory.

Neo, I did get to hang out with The Ghettofabulous Jessica, so the evening wasn't a complete loss, lack of Mona midriff notwithstanding.
Peter, no idea where the quote is from, I'm afraid. Can keep digging, if you're really curious.
uppity-shinob, this is why Preston rawks.
Ok, one of the many reasons. Me, you could fill a library with what I don't know about Tom Robbins. But that is a damn good quote.

I'm still waiting on the definition of Ghettofabulous.

I did a search for talk about sports as I am looking for information on where Halifax Mooseheads players lived and the history about them and their culture. We have and have had hockey players from all over the world play with the local hockey team here in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. I am researching anyone who has played in the past and the present for the Halifax Mooseheads hockey team. As I was web surfing, going from one topic to the next I came upon your website as I was looking for hockey blogs, as I thought about creating a blog on the Halifax Mooseheads hockey team. Anyways I read your blog to see if you had any information on how to operate a blog.
I will be back to see if you added anything new that might help me.
Good luck with your website.
Take care and God Bless

Um, see, it's like this. . .
Commenting in old threads? Generally frowned upon. Especially when the comment has nada to do with the original post.
Best thing to do is lurk around a few blogs, find some you like, and then jump into one of the active conversations.
And for more information (and Rebecca's gonna just love me for this), have a look at The Weblog Handbook, available at finer bookstores.
