You know that thing where you're having a pleasant conversation with Sheree Thomas at a reception, and Chip Delany comes to collect her so they can catch a ride, and she decides to mention your web site in front of him?
Causing you to say, "I have a bad feeling about this. . ."
And him to respond, eyes twinking, "I have a good feeling about this."
No, didn't think so.
Wish I had time to expunge certain entries and comments clean the place properly for guests, but am at the Screenz on Clark, about to head to the Gapers' Block Party at Ann Sather, down the way on Belmont.
The talks were wonderful, the Q&A session managed to touch on The Passion, the Matrix trilogy and, of course, Homeboys from Outer Space, and I felt, as usual, totally out of my depth the entire time.
And didn't want to admit that, although I didn't really care for Homeboys, that I thought Red Dwarf was brilliant. And possibly not apropos.
And didn't bother mentioning that I usually say Magical Nigger rather than Negro to describe films like Bagger Vance, Radio, Green Mile, etc. . .
The world gets smaller and smaller...i just left the dang conference and now i'm reading about it!?! in any case, i came late but was glad i made the trip. did manage to get in a question, so it wasn't entirely wasted. got to talk to Alondra briefly about my work so that made it entirely worthwhile...
i'm sorry i didn't realize you were going - or even who you are *laughing* but i enjoy your site and i'm fairly sure mr. delany will as well
Andre, thanks. And I wasn't even capable of coming up with a coherent question, so you're a better person than I.
This is damning with faint praise, yes.
And, call me crazy, but I kind'a like not having everyone commenting on the site having a more impressive CV than me. It's just a wee bit intimidating.
This is why I wish Tristan would post more. I know I'm smarter'n she is, at least. . .
Again, this is damning with faint praise.
heheheheh...Cat.
