p.s. Hey. ** David Ehrenstein, Hi. Florence Foster Jenkins is a new one on me. Goodness, as in ... gracious. Everyone, DE adds one Florence Foster Jenkins to PKinman's weekend, quite understandably, as you can see. ** Esther Planas, Hi, Esther! So very good to see you! Paris is less qualified for the term freezing day by day, thankfully. Chilly, though. I'll bet: on the shock to your temperature's gauge. I'm very happy that the field recordings gig was so timely. Marc and Wolf were here this weekend, and still are for a day or so. I saw them less than I had dreamed in advance due to lingering under-the-weather body stuff on my end, but they powered the place. Love, love, love to you! ** xTx, Hey! I thought it was thoughtful too, yeah, in addition to its enthusiasm being so savvy. Short stories! Great! And CCM is very cool. No, something clearly happened 'cos 'Billie' never got here, very sadly, and it would have arrived by now if it was going to. Urgh. If you can spare another and don't mind sending it to Joel's and my place, that would be so nice! Writing is a struggle 'cos I'm trying to reinvent my novel, and I haven't figured out how I can do that yet, if I can. I'm going on a trip next week that's about holding up with an artist friend and working on our stuff, and I'm hoping that'll help. Xoxoxoxo in hardcore return. ** Math Tinder, Hey, old buddy! Thank you on PK's behalf! What's up? ** Paul Curran, Yes, that's the plan! Japan in June. We should start getting more specific about the time frame and where we want to go, and will be in need/want of tips and stuff soon. Well, would be amazing if you're there too! Belated happy birthday to you, Paul! Did you have fun? ** L@rstonovich, Nice, buddy. Sounds very nice. Ceviche, yeah, I guess salsa is as close as we fish-phobes get. Which I would imagine is not that close, really, given fish's dominating flavors. Very good about the rear view hurdle. I wish I could have Jen's nettle tincture too. I'm having a weird hell of a time getting entirely rid of whatever this thing is that I've got. Thanks, L. ** Ken Baumann, Ken! Very cool. I think this is the week for me and 'SB'. And I'll go get those Q&A bits out of your Twitter. My brain's not functioning either. I can't tell what's missing. Something. Love to you, man. ** Chelsea kane, Hi, Chelsea! I'm glad your trip went so well, and, yeah, next time you're heading over, just give the word. it would be a total pleasure. ** Thomas Moronic, Hi, T! I was hoping I'd feel a lot better by now, but I guess I'm getting there, and I'm about to get busy, and that can hopefully do the finalizing work. Thanks about the Culkin post. Yes, I do understand what you mean about the blog's contextualization and vibe, that's very interesting. I hadn't thought about that, or at least hadn't shelved it in my analytical area, until you mentioned it. Anyway, beautiful thinking about him. I'm totally with you. I hope your weekend was great. Was it? ** Steevee, Didn't see that about 'SB''s opening numbers. That's very sweet. ** _Black_Acrylic, Hi, Ben. I'm really glad the email back and forth thing worked out well. Of course I'm excited to see what you make. Thank you so much, man! ** MANCY, Yes, re: Iceage! Enjoy! See if you don't think Elias is one of the most charismatic front men ever. ** Misanthrope, Hi, G. They were good. Due to my feeling still kind of shit, we mostly sat places. Coffee and some food. But they -- W&TP -- seemed to be in the spirit of the place. Uh, that is so not great news, man, and I'm very glad you hear you've taken preemptive measures with your diet. Don't play around with that stuff, man. It's time for you to get lean and mean, as it were. Let me know how everything goes in as much detail as you can. ** Bollo, Hi, J. Oh, you know, not that I was out and about very much at all, but I couldn't tell it was supposed to be green or whatever here. Maybe there's a Irish district in Paris or something where everyone crammed themselves or something. Oh, right, I have weasel a copy of the Hannum Kiddiepunk book out of the maestro. Have a Monday like none other. ** Right. Today I ... well, you see. See you tomorrow.
