Likely Tucker Sightings

[jazzfish]

1. 9/22, afternoon. National Zoo.
   
2. 9/23, afternoon. Arlington Board Gamers.
   
3. 9/24, evening. Changeling.
   
4. 9/29, 7 PM. Politics and Prose Bookstore and Coffeehouse in Northwest DC, for a reading and signing by Mr Gaiman, whose new story collection comes out next week. I'll be getting there by sixish if not before, probably grabbing an early dinner either nearby or picnicking.
   
5. 9/30 10/1. Maryland Renaissance Faire, because there will be Baebes, and also jude.
   
6. 10/2, 7 PM. The State Theatre in Falls Church, for a Gin Blossoms concert. Sushi at the nearby Maneki Neko beforehand. (tentative)

Hope to see you at any and all of those.

(And yes, I've already missed one deadline on my to-do list. Must be a real writer.)

(Speaking of which, the Making Light thread on Amazon opening up their reviews for auctorial response has some of the best comments I've read there, and that's saying a lot. "Of course, if you really wanted to get even with an author, the thing to do would be to register an account at Amazon under some version of his or her name, and then play out-of-control diva amongst the reviews." "How will they tell the person doing that from the real Harlan Ellison?")

Pssst. 9/23, evening?

9/24, evening. The 23rd is a Saturday.

Point. Mental calendar has failed me again.

[uilos.livejournal.com]

My mental calendar is a cheap piece of crap. This is why I carry a paper pocket calendar to write things down in. :)

[jazzfish]

. . . /duh/. I knew there was something I was doing every day this weekend, just couldn't quite put my finger on it.

Gin Blossom's Concert?!?!?!?!! Hmmm ponders if I have the cash.

[jazzfish]

New album, too. (And I may not have the cash myself. Will know for certain by, um, the middle of next week.)

[Hey, that was me for 10/2. Please don't let the world know of my secret shame.]

[jazzfish]

Excellent! I should be able to determine whether my wallet will take the strain of so much fun in such a short time by the middle of next week, and will thus remove either the 'tentative' or the entire event from my calendar. Will keep you informed.

(And your opium habit disco fever fondness for mullets is safe with me.)

[baranoouji.livejournal.com]

Opium is classy.

Disco occasionally makes a comeback.

Mullets are just awful.

Please strongly consider going to GB night! I would like to actually hang out with you not online.

[jazzfish]

Arm sufficiently twisted. (Not that it really took much.) I'll be getting tickets tomorrow for myself and uilos, since today the State Theatre was unable to connect to TicketMaster and sell me tickets.

I'm sure the Gaiman reading will be jam-packed, but I will try to elbow my way in and find you. :)

[jazzfish]

w00t!

(No time to read, or I'd be book-clubbin' on the second.)

[jude.livejournal.com]

you don't wanna switch your faireing to the 1st, do you? 'cause that's when i can make it...
(also if you buy me some Neil [not Anansi or Neverwhere or American Gods] i will pay you back.)

[jazzfish]

Sadly there will be no Baebes on the first, so no Faireing then. Grr. Stupid timing.

Sure, I can get you some stuff. What name do you want him to sign it for?
(er, that's unclear. For "To XXX" what do you want in XXX? Sarah? or something else?)

[jude.livejournal.com]

to meeeee!
yay stuff!
i thought they were there both days that weekend... and dammit, i can't check because the school computer has no flash.

[jazzfish]

Ah! They are indeed there both days. The original problem was that uilos was working on Sunday. Which, it turns out, she isn't. So, yes, Sunday there shall be RennFesting and delivery of Neil-signed volumes. And it shall be Good.

wahahaha. :D
