“Black Man” – a cyberpunk hermaphrodite (on Gaiman’s book-gender specification) punk’d.
“The Steel Remains” – gay so un-gay (or a-gay).
The “Kovacs” trilogy – the soul of no-soul.

Waiting for your work translated unremiss in Bahasa Indonesia so my girlfriend can meet Sevgi. (And hats off anyway.)

Brings back some good memories for me.<br /><br />The good: the excellent All Tomorrows Parties festival at the Pontin's (I think it's moved to Minehead now though. Great days *reminisces*).<br /><br />The bad: the carnage getting there. We flew from Glasgow to "London Luton" (Luton isn't in London >poke, >poke, >poke) took the train from the airport to actual London then got on the clapped out trains that they still, inexplicably, seem to run on those lines (they were ancient and clapped out when I lived in Kent 20 years ago - still; the smells stimulated some pleasant childhood memories) for a journey of at <i>least</i> two fucking hours. <br /><br />I suggest, if at all possible, you leave a couple of days early so that you aren't frazzled and irritable. By the time we got there we did the dishourable thing of watching The Breeders (who were headlining the Friday) and waiting 'til they played <a href="http://open.spotify.com/track/1pQFd3NNFOQ1rZzCPXgKyv" rel="nofollow">Cannonball</a> and fucking off to bed.<br /><br />Excellent T and excellent cause...although I do worry that wearing it may destroy my cool (look - there really isn't a lot to start with...I have to cling on to what precious shreds I have).<br /><br />Ah what the hell. *ordered* Camber Sands…oh wow, excellent.

The good: the excellent All Tomorrows Parties festival at the Pontin’s (I think it’s moved to Minehead now though. Great days *reminisces*).

Excellent T and excellent cause…although I do worry that wearing it may destroy my cool (look – there really isn’t a lot to start with…I have to cling on to what precious shreds I have).

Ah what the hell. *ordered*

Any plans to pop over the pond anytime in the foreseeable future? Say, somewhere within driving distance of southern Illinois, perhaps?<br /><br />The T-Shirt might be something I'm interested in buying, but I sure wish it were available in black. Pretty much, the only color I wear. Okay, that's not entirely true, but I really don't like white Tee Shirts. Maybe I'll get one for my Tattooist. He's a big fan as well. <br />Hell, maybe I'll get two and hold onto the one.. see can't I get the author to sign it... The gig in question is apparently sold out – no matter, I can’t make it anyway.
