Alternative Press Expo was in S.F. a few weeks ago, and I read about stuff going on in Vermont and the East Coast from this blog....just wish I could tap into the comics/animation stuff going on in L.A., or what stuff there is going on here....

Sadly, it's a bad time for me to be away from home, or I'd travel to NYC or DC to hear her. I’d love to hear Margaret Atwood speak!

A while ago I was rooting around the NSF website and discovered the <a href="http://www.nsf.gov/od/opp/aawr.jsp" rel="nofollow">polar program</a> (unfortunately, not even remotely connected to what I do). Who would have thought that some of our tax dollars would go to fund such a cool thing like artists in Antarctica? Thanks for the recommendation, I am really looking forward to reading this novel!

This looks goooood. I'm way overdue to buy some books - I tend to buy several at once to last me a while. Just FYI to anyone in/around Chicago who's a Margaret Atwood fan: on November 6th, she'll be at DePaul's Merle Reskin Theater on her promo tour for <i>The Year of the Flood.</i> At various cities on this tour, she uses local actors and singers as she does a reading from the novel. (You can read more at www.margaretatwood.ca - there's a link there to buy tickets, which are 20 bucks a pop.) She also does a signing as well. At her website, she's also started to blog as she's on this tour - it's interesting to read how she's trying to minimize the carbon footprint of the tour. Hey, thanks for the recommendation!

Um .. not much to say except that I had one of those irritating dreams where I found a book that had comics in it, specifically an excerpt from AB's book about working in offices .. which I'd never heard about .. I read as much of it as I could before the cat put her feet into my abdomen to wake me up. Am I first?

It's just another benefit of participating here. Speaking of creators we admire, I heard Lynda Barry speak this past Friday night. She's every bit as smart and funny as one would expect!
