Number One Pet Peeve: Ruthlessness Disguised As Rampant Lack Of Professionalism
Galapagos Art Space in NYC, which was set to host our Palimpsest Release Gala Event on February 25th, just emailed omnisti and asked us to reschedule for March. It is now exactly 21 days until the event, 20 days until the book's official release.
I have never had any venue do this to me in connection with any event, without giving a concrete reason, less than a month before the event was to take place.
Needless to say, I am in shock, and I am very, very angry.
Even if we could reschedule, which we cannot because all of our other appearances in support of the book are very tightly scheduled, what would keep them from doing this to us a second time? Kevin asked them for contracts at least a month ago, and they ignored his request.
The silver lining is the picture I have in my mind of the gorgeous, gigantic venue which will come to our rescue in this trying time.
I know you know what and where it is, and that you'll tell me in comments. I love you, my miracle workers, and I need your help. A lot.
We have belly dancers, burlesque dancers, amazing rope suspension artists on board for this, as well as the caliber of combined music and literature you've come to expect from yuki_onna and myself in recent times. The circus needs a place to play, folks. Please, please help us.
And if you'd like to pre-order Palimpsest once or twice, to ensure that it shoots to the top of every bestseller list in existence upon its release, to make it plain to these poor people just exactly whom and what they have fucked over, please do that as well. It will no doubt provide more lasting and satisfying results than the thoughts of arson and homicide running through all of our brains.
