And I remain the suckiest suckass in the history of sucking

Pretty damned good, right? I mean, Babes With Blades. All I need to hear right there.
Oh, but I accidentally cut a line pasting this from kris dresen's Journal:
WHEN: Monday, October 20th, 2003 @ 8:00pm
Arrgh.
I note for the record that Over the Rhine will be playing at the pretty-damned-nice venue Martyrs' on Sunday, December 14th. Readers are encouraged to ask me how the show was that following Monday, especially if I spazz and miss them again.
I'm confident the reaction will be entertaining.
For somebody else.
Update: And, naturally, Jane Siberry is playing at the Black Orchid that same day.
Decisions, decisions.
In keeping with tradition, I shall probably miss both.
This entry is dedicated to the Nubian Goddess: Kris Dresen

The Milestone geek in me just won't stop seeing that as the name of a reporter from Dakota.

Kynn, I was hoping that was just me. . .
Wasn't the character named after a real person?

Yep. The character was named after the director. She's been one of my closest friends since college.

So, if you go to the show, Aaron, it's just like you're IN the comic book.

Jason, did you ever read a Blood Syndicate comic book? I'd really rather not be in one, thanks. Black militants, Latina gang members, gay people of col--
Wait, I'm already in it. Never mind.
Dwayne, does she have anything else coming up? Seeing as I missed this one, because I suck?

I'll make a point of e-mailing you as soon as she's got something on deck.

Thanks, Dwayne.
Since, you know, that lurker Kris Dresden apparently can't be bothered to tell me about these things in advance. Is it my fault I don't check her site frequently enough? I think not, sir. I think not.

I'll send your email address to Robin so she can add it to her mailing list. That way you'll know way in advance of any of her shows.
Oh, and the reading was mucho funny. So sorry you missed it, but it really was a kind of last-minute thing.

Thanks, Kris. I take back all the mean things I said about you. Except the bit about Paris Hilton.
And I'm pretty good at missing things even when I do know about them way in advance. Which is why I'm hoping to get tickets for the final performance of The Maria Chronicles this weekend.
Say, don't suppose you'd be interested in taking over the webmistress duties for C.L.I.-- no, no I suppose you wouldn't. Never mind.
