notice how everyone else has an actual "book"?

Ooh! My bio and photo are up on the 215 Festival website, along with those of lots of people who are far more accomplished than I.

I am not actually certain how I am getting to Philly and back on October 8th/9th. I discovered I can take the Chinatown bus there for $12, but the last return bus leaves at 11pm, and at that time I will still be at "Bad Sex with Neal Pollack." It looks like I will have to take Amtrak's 12:20, or else stay over and take their 6:52, as I need to be at work at 9:30am Sunday. Both Amtrak trains cost $53. Why does the train cost 442% more than the bus? (If anyone is driving there or back, please drop me a line).

A shout-out to the cowboy for letting me copy all his music while we were returning one another's stuff. Without that act of largesse, I would be without Damien Jurado, My Morning Jacket, TV on the Radio, and many other fabulous things.

On an unrelated note, I am seeing Tim Burton's Corpse Bride tonight.
