    i had a very interesting conversation with Boulez's English agent once about him once

    the man surrounds himself with sycophants and never talks to people who dont think he is the dogs bollocks, which is really quite funny

    how have you had all these life experiences, crab

    are you 381

    are you.. a vampire

    well, I mean, he did have near paramilitary art army at one point to cause riots at shows

    so

    generally you want sycophants for that

    Speaking of Portland, @Arch is visiting and wanted to know if I could meet up with him and his fellow conference-goers tomorrow, but I haven't heard back from him regarding his schedule.
    Arch is visiting Portland before he's visited Seattle? :bz

    That is an angry bee.

    My phrasing was intentional. Portland isn't that bad. But it can still be hella annoying at times.

    If I were to wager a guess, I'm thinking his department paid for the trip.

    the combined U-District can rival powells. You have the UW bookstore for new stuff as well as Magus and one of the larger Half Price books locations around for used.

    And of course the best cheap eats can be had on the ave while walking between them.

    It's a schlep from downtown, but the eats there are pretty killer and hella cheap.

    It is good in all the ways that the area right around the convention center (and therefore PAX) is bad.

    The best cheap deliciousness that every corner of the globe can offer. And the one vital criteria for Civilization that Caimbridge lacked when I visted: the ability to get a gryo at 2 AM on a weeknight.

    also when visiting Seattle (especially with kids) I can recomend the woodland park zoo + a trip to Red Mill burgers (which is nearby).

    I believe that is up on Capitol Hill (east accross I5 from downtown). The U District is north of there accross the narrow part of Lake Union.

    I hate when a tv show has gone south but you feel like you have to keep watching it anyway.

    (I just watched the latest Doctor Who Christmas special. Gah. Do you want some schmaltz with your schmaltz?)

    I can't remember, do people dress up in costume at all at PAX East? My lady wanted to, but I can't remember if it's a thing or not.

    What does the first sentence have to do with the second sentence?

    The Christmas specials are never that good by and large.

    Without schmaltz, it just wouldn't be Christmas.

    Yessssssss. She's already decided she won't let anyone take pictures unless they can guess who she is. it's kind of an obscure (but cool and retro-y) reference
