Launch Party for 33 1/3's Wowee Zowee
An onslaught of allergies that made my head feel like a lead balloon subsided just long enough for me to attend the launch party for the new 33 1/3 book by Bryan Charles about Pavement’s Wowee Zowee at WORD in Greenpoint last night.  Bryan was taller than I expected.  I suppose that’s because all I had seen of him was a four square centimeter author’s photograph on his...

Her Part Was Nearly Over
Holly was crying.  A man on a gurney had just been slashed and burned before her eyes.  She stood there frozen.  Everyone else began to run out of the lab.  They called to her.  She looked to them and her angel blue eyes said, Your journey continues elsewhere but mine, mine is here. A violet mist fell gently from ducts in the ceiling.  Holly breathed it in deeply.  She closed her eyes.  She was a...

Titavaties Convention 2010
Nick: I'm curating a symposium on cyberattacks next February. Invite your friends!
Josh: Are you John Connor?
Nick: No, but that would be an excellent "theme" for this symposium. I could get some cosplay people into it. Some people waiting for that Cameron Convention that doesn't exist yet. We need to start that convention so we can quit the current hustle. I bet we sink 20k - 50k for 2 years and we break even by year 4. I'll show you the breakdown of expenditures and projected revenue before our formal meeting with investors.
Josh: This convention would strictly be for T2, yes?
Nick: No, the Avatar and Titanic people. I want epic battles between these people with poor judgment of how to use their disposable income.
Josh: And fierce debates about the class/cultural issues of early 20th century Western Europe/America vs. 22nd century Pandora. With one debater dressed as a frozen to death Leonardo DiCaprio and the other as Na'vi Councilman No. 3.
Nick: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Josh: I can't wait until the inevitable documentary, Titavaties.
Nick: We get a cut of that too you know. We're gonna shampoo these Cameronites. Or Titavaties depending on your inclination. Some people find the latter offensive.
Josh: Of course. We'll also have to have a special adult-themed section for that contingent who write fan fiction about having Na'vi sex with Sigourney Weaver's character.
Nick: Hott. Dream big.
Josh: We're going to show James Cameron what his imagination hath wrought. And make a shit-ton of cash.
Nick: The American Dream.

I Wanted To Be First Up The Stairs
By the end of the first week I had the perfect spot.  It was two pillars past the sign in front of a break in the wood, painted caution yellow, on the edge of the platform.  It was between the pillars so most people wouldn’t stand there to wait.  Most relied on the comfort found when in close proximity to the pillars. I couldn’t always get the spot in the car right in front of the doors.  That...
