what i learned in vegas
some were lessons re-learned...those being,
1) Francois Camoin, Steve Almond, Erin Falkavitz (i think i'm spelling that right...Erin?), Tod Goldberg, and Gayle are all fucking awesome to hang out with...a great time...great writers, great funny minds, and all E-ticket attractions...
the new lessons...
2) Jeremy Schaap is a really nice guy...and very funny...
3) Neal Pollack gets really good weed.
4) "master of darkness" John Shirley needs to actually read some post-modern theory before he spouts off about it....this from me...the self-proclaimed "puppet of lightness."
5) i seem to be incapable of NOT getting into heated debates (read: fights where i publically call someone a moron...in this case the master of darkness) when i am on panels at the vegas valley book faire...i am now 2 for 2...
6) not EXACTLY a lesson from vegas...BUT...if you drive a subaru, try not to break down 35 miles east of barstow...try not to spend 2 hours waiting for your tow...and try not to pay an obscene amount of money to get the hell out of barstow (well, actually, you have to)...there are not many subarus, or subaru parts, in barstow...if you break down there, try doing so in a 1973 ford pickup, is what i gather...
7) H. Lee Barnes is the writer i'd most like to have my back in a prison break/bar fight or west side story dance/shiv fight...sorry, Tod.
8) if you want food in a hurry, DO NOT hang with me and Tod Goldberg...one at a time--no trouble...but, together, it takes us a tremendous amount of time to find food...i learn this over and over...
9) The Four Queens is skanky...but not as skanky as the El Cortez or Brittney Spears...
10: i can eat 50 eggs in an hour.
