p.s. Hey. ** David Ehrenstein, Hi. Cool. Barker has read at least some Bataille. He and I talked about Bataille when I interviewed him for the Weekly ages ago, but I don't think the Bataille talk ended up in the final cut. ** Kyler, Hi, K. Nice to be back, thanks. Oh, I knew you didn't mean about the blog. No prob. Well, best of the best with your proximate stud, man. ** Keaton, Trance-iness can be a great, charisma-inducing tone/style for fiction, and it's fun/dicey to fool around with story and characters, etc. inside it. Stendhal is weird 'cos he seems all rough hewn at first and then the roughness starts to lull and chomp at the same time. It's a really good trick. ** Thomas Moronic, Hi, man. ** L@rstonovich, Hey, L! It's great to see you! How are you doing? What's up? ** Sypha, My supreme honor, James. It was and is a very awesome thing. How is 'Dracula'? I don't think I ever actually read that. Sweet that you and Kevin K. will get to meet! Do you by chance know of/ recognize that RI abandoned, or I guess destroyed (?), nightclub up above? ** MANCY, Hi, bud! ** MyNeighbour JohnTurtorro, Hi, good to see you! I should be back here, i.e. the blog for a while. I have a couple of brief trips, one next week to Poitiers to perform this dance/performance piece 'Them', but I think I can do the p.s. while there, and another 'business' trip-ette to Berlin, where I might not be able to do the p.s., but that's probably it until January. I was traveling and adventuring around the western States, here and there, and a little in LA. Ah, the Pitchfork Festival. Sad story. It was kind of crazy in retrospect for Zac and I to have planned to get off a long jet flight with a 9 hour time change effect and then go to the Festival. Anyway, we got back, napped, and then between a dysfunctioning alarm and general brain zonk, we didn't end up making it there for the first day. I didn't go to the second day either due to lag/ennui, but I think Zac might have gone, and, if so, I'll ask him for a report when I see him. So, yeah. Awesome that you saw Orcutt. I just got his new one. And thanks a bunch for the Gnod link. I'll use that with pleasure, I'm sure, this afternoon. ** Etc etc etc, Hey! Glad you came back! Yeah, TDR and NYTyrant are very good presses. Yeah, let me sit down today and make a list of books to recommend to you. I'll have it for you next time. I hope to get LHotB up and running soon. It's hard 'cos I have, like, six projects I'm working on right now, but I'll find a way. Thanks a lot for the links to your works. I read the first three yesterday, and I admire them all a lot. I really like the way you construct and use and combine sentences. They're super energized but weighted/thought out at the same time, and the balance between things happening fiction- and content-wise and totally prose-based thrills is really sharp. A great pleasure. I'll bookmark the longer work and earmark it for reading asap. Everyone, I strongly advise and highly recommend that you go check out some short fiction works by the writer and new d.l. Etc etc etc aka Casey Michael Henry because they're really excellent and it's obviously a good way to greet him and get to know what he's up to. Here's 'Expose' @ Fanzine, and here's 'Like Making Love to a Warm Wet Towel' @ Thought Catalog, and here's 'Dinette' @ Fanzine. I did read 'Almost Transparent Blue', yeah. I think that's my favorite book of his. Next time I get to NYC, I'll give advance warning. It would be great to meet up. Have an awesome Monday, and, again, kudos and respect on your writing. I look forward to reading much more. ** Misanthrope, Good work re: your mom, and really great if it's getting you on a healthier intake track at the same time. Back to the UK/Europe, eh? Sweet. Hopefully I'll be around. What with my new adventure-prone life these, its hard to say right now, but fingers crossed. ** Robert-nyc, Hi, R. I'm happy that your book's birth is happy time. That time can be so stressful. Bluestockings, nice, nice store. The novel I'm working is coming along very well so far. I fiddled with it and wrote a bit now and then on the trip, but we were pretty busy and on the move all the time. I'm going to settle into working hard and diligently on it this week. Excellent day/week ahead to you, sir. ** Randomwater, Hey, man! I really like that new poem on your blog a lot. It's a serious beauty. Everyone, go read a superb new poem by Randomwater over on his 'Our Lady of the Teratoma' blog, won't you? The poem's called 'Vicious'. ** Delilah Hannu, Hi, Dovey! Of course now I want to enter Second Life and try to find you, ha ha. Wonderful that the book is going well. Slow but evolving is the story of my writing's life too. Your plan for the book's initial publication sounds good to me. You can bet that I'll be singing and shouting about its world arrival with all my might to whoever I can reach, and obviously I'll be far from alone in that endeavor. Love to you! ** James, Hi, James! I was in the States the whole time, and I was in LA for a busy bit. We checked out a slew of haunted houses in a kind of rushed marathon, for fun and for research for a project, and a few of them were spectacular. Yeah, I think we missed the LAX shooting by a day or something. And we'd been in the next door terminal. Really good news about the move. I saw an email in my box from you, and I'll get to it today. Sorry for the slowness, I'm really behind on stuff. Love to you! ** Steevee, Like I said to David, Barker has read Bataille, 'Story of the Eye' certainly, but I can't remember what other Bataille books we talked about. 'Blue of Noon' would be a good bet. That's really sad and worrying about St. Marks Bookshop. I thought they had gotten their problems sorted out enough to move/survive. That would be a very sad loss. I so hope they make it. ** Bill, Hi, Bill. Have fun with the Australians. I hope the weekend was packed like a school lunch. I like school lunches, or at least 'school lunches'. How was the gig? What was its nature and content? ** Lee, Hey, Lee. Wow, that vocal thing sounds like a blast. I had imagined you singing Brahms or something like a songbird, I don't know why. But that's much better. The name Jenny Moore sounds familiar, but I'm probably tripping. ** _Black_Acrylic, Thanks re: the 'Dazed' interview. It seems to be back up now. Oh, I guess I should ... Everyone, there's an interview with me in the new issue of 'Dazed and Confused', and it's online, and if you want to read it, it's here. Best to you, Benster. ** Casey McKinney, Hey, Casey! How's it, man? Really cool that you're publishing Casey Michael Henry's work at Fanzine. That's really, really good work. Love to you, C. ** Rewritedept, Hi. Yeah, like I said, Pitchfork and I never met up, sadly. Deerhunter cancelled out about a month ago, so I wouldn't have seen them even if I went. Thumbs up on the insurance check and its happy fallout. I love secret projects, and I like its unsecret name. Keep me informed when the time's right. Studio time, art show ... you're rolling, man. Nice. ** Kevin Killian, Kevin! Such an avalanching pleasure to see you! Thanks a lot about the blog's recent output. Input? Input/output? A blog's relationship to whoever else is so, uh, unique or something? Take a whole bunch of love. ** Okay. I had this day or so recently when I was fixated or fascinated or something by abandoned nightclubs, and, before my fascination moved on to wherever it has gone, I used it to make this post. See you tomorrow.
