The gods will lounge around until this show is through

[sovay]

An evening well spent with gaudior, rushthatspeaks, lignota, eredien, weirdquark, and others yet who are not on Livejournal. Sushi. Books. Cats. Comics. Cool, cool, cool people.

"I was so mad today. I didn't get to murder Coyote because I was still stoned from eating Jesus in Tokyo."

All in all, a good time.

Glad you had fun. You were good to see.

(And dude, you just totally quoted Dave Carter. Love that song.)

I love Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer. I actually found them because I heard them live on some folk radio station, I think right after Drum Hat Buddha had come out; they did "Tillman Co." (from which my mother guessed that he had grown up at least partially in Oklahoma because of the line about "blood run thicker than bottomland mud") and "I Go Like the Raven" (inspired, he said, by a dream in which he saw "a Tibetan raven goddess dancing on a mound of skulls"), and that was it. There's not enough mythic folk in this world that I could pass up people who write lyrics like "Climb me a crooked oak, scar-face, bible-black / Swing this shovel till it cracks the sky." I am still very annoyed he's dead.

You'll have to come back.

Perhaps next time I'll even be around for more than the last five minutes of your visit.

That would be cool. At least this way I have visual confirmation of your existence. And can thank you for the Markov generator.

[weirdquark]

Visual confirmation of my existence is rare. (More so than usual this past week, but I've almost always had an SEP field.)
