Because my friends are awesome, I have had a lot of exciting cancer-trinkets...

rm gave me a gorgeous bracelet (at some point, I'll take a picture of it and post it -- IHNIIHBT fans will get a kick out of it, I think); hofnarr, some awesome Whovian comics; Dave took me to see Chicago & Tam took me to see Le Corsaire.

I can't wait till the death trinkets begin to roll in! (Kidding. Obviously.)

But TONIGHT there was, courtesy of faris_nallaneen the Read more... )

Good to see you out and about. :) I have urban envy. Housing Works was just getting off the ground in my last stint in NYC, but I miss their events.

Eagerly looking forward to a peek at the bracelet, and the fic. Roomie's just had chemo and I plan to read it aloud to her.

this is the first event thing-y of theirs I've been too, but I donate regularly etc. Also they are just an awesome bookstore.

I'm so sorry to hear about your roommate. Even more incentive to get cracking. ♥ ♥

I was hoping you'd post again. I keep watching my f-list for updates. I mean, I suppose I could just send you a proper e-mail, but...

Anyway. Glad you're well. Unabashedly jealous of the Neil/Amanda (and boy, that sort of takes on new meaning suddenly) gig, but in total agreement that you should buy all of her albums. She's fantastic.

Awwww! I'm here! Still kicking =D

My fannishness for that pair has suddenly exponentially multiplied... and it was no small thing before.

it was SO AWESOME. The look of adoration on her face while he read the new short story which isn't in the book -- the living statue's love letter -- was so terrific, and the part where Amanda was answering a question and he pulled out his notebook and started jotting stuff down, and her amazing voice and stage presence. Also, I fucking LOVE Housing Works. They are my favorite social enterprise.

I'm so glad you had fun. If you get pneumonia due to soaking I am really, really sorry. Did our poster survive?

Dude, did you know Moby was there? Weird.

THEY ARE SO CUTE.

As for the poster: it lives! And so do I, though there's a fair bit of sneezing etc...

they are indeed so cute! lookit these photos in flickr (taken by a friend of Warren Ellis's, for maximum worlds-colliding bonus points) of them last night:

It was pretty hilarious. I have a whole funny thing about it to tell you, not in this forum, which I think you will enjoy.

That is totally.. totally.. amazingly awesome! Getting all these e-mails about the Neil Gaiman & Amanda Palmer thing made me jealous enough to know it would even exist.. but that you were there.... so living through you vicariously for a moment!

Eeeeeee! You can live through me anytime, baby.

I kind of can't believe I was there either, frankly. I'm still sorta reeling.
