NY Life & KGB Auction
How low can you go? So low that I'm stealing Delia Sherman's recent Facebook post, as I cannot do better to keep you informed of life in our world:
Last night a real New York night: East Village for the closing night of a gallery show of fairy tale shadow boxes, complete with tale-telling and musical saw [by our friend Tine Kindermann; I tweeted some photos of her wonderful work!]; take-out pastrami sandwich from Katz's Deli, eaten in the taxi on our way to; *A Free Man of Color* at Lincoln Center.
In other news:
ADDED: My apologies: the KGB Raffle ended at midnight last night, not tonight as I thought. Congratulations to Xavier Van Aubel of Uccle, Brussels, Belgium, who won my copy of The Man with the Knives, and to Susan Brown of Rutledge, Missouri, who won the signed Interfictions 1& 2 from the IAF.
You have just 24 hours left to buy RAFFLE TICKETS for the "Fantastic Fiction at KGB" Online Raffle!
Tix are $1 each, and you can pick which of the dozens of awesome prizes donated by Your Favorite Authors to try your luck on -- including the world's best original art by Terri Windling or Thomas Canty or China Mieville. . . . signed copies of both Interfictions anthologies . . . Tuckerizations (that's when an author uses your name for one of their characters) by Rick Bowes, Caitlin Kiernan, Carol Emshwiller, Cecil Castellucci & others . . . an unpublished story by Michael Swanwick (!), signed limited editions by John Crowley. . . and story, opening & query critiques by Mary Robinette Kowal, Nancy Kress & Barry Goldblattt & others (!!!!!!!!) . . . and, ehrm, my own Swordspoint sequel illustrated chapbook, The Man with the Knives, which I will inscribe & mail to the winner. You can spend as little as $1 and dream of winning - and all proceeds go to keep a beloved spec fic institution alive and well in my town.
Even if you don't live here - you may be in NYC some 3rd Weds night, and find yourself amongst us. I try not to miss a KGB night - it's sort of become my monthly Social Club, where I'll usually hear some good work, and always find My People. We go out en masse to Grand Szechuan on St Marks' afterwards, and talk about life and art and who's getting the last piece of tea smoked duck. So put in your raffle $$ - and just think of it as buying me a beer.
