Ok... deep breaths... my flight for New York leaves in 2 and a half hours... what have I forgotten??? I'm so overpacked, I doubt I forgot anything... I hope that you and you are ready for this...

Geez... y'all... gay couples are going to be legally married in the United States tomorrow... I know it's a momentary blip, but still...

Wow...

The 80s live! I hope the promises of this website come to fruition, cuz the thought of OMD meets Propaganda gets me hard...

Someone please tell me that Gwyneth Paltrow did not name her daughter
Apple... Well... at least it wasn't Microsoft...

Sorry guys... I have a sinus infection. My photo software all seems to be kerblooey and I leave for New York in a week. Oh, and I have a date tomorrow with a pretty swell guy. I swear to god I'll blog Saints & Sinners soon. Swear. Double dog...

I just noticed the typo in my last post... "whole." But, I think I like it that way. Right now, I have a big hole... but I think after I sleep a bit, I'm gonna feel more like there's more "whole" in my life...

I'm dying to write about my weekend, but I'm too physically and emotionally drained right now to even attempt to do so. Saints & Sinners was an absolute fucking blast. I had more fun in the past three days than I've probably had in the last 5 years. I met several dozen of the most incredibly generous, talented, witty, sexy beautiful people over those days and I feel like there's a big whole in my life now that they're gone. And no less than three of them stole a little bit of my heart.

But, I need sleep now or I'm going to start crying again... which I've done several times tonight...

Expect many more details and a few pictures in a couple of days when I'm a little more together.

This weekend, I'm going to be the token bookseller at Saints and Sinners, a GLBT alternative literary festival in the French Quarter. It should be an interesting time. I'm going to get to meet a broad spectrum of writers. And I'm somewhat terrified, because it's my first year doing this and it's very hard to try to predict what people are going to want to buy and in what quantity. Inevitably, I'm going to run out of some author's books and they're not going to be happy with me. *sigh* Hopefully, they'll remember that this is all a benefit for NO/Aids and that I'm doing my best and that I've worked my ass off putting my part of it together.

On the other hand, I'm much looking forward to meeting a lot of the authors. I do love me some book-people.
