Now Halloween is sadly over, until next year. Today the spider lights and the webs come down and the jack-o'lanterns go to the dumpster. (sigh) Ah, well. Spooky and I have decided to make Xmas as much like Halloween as possible this year, in hopes of making it more endurable. Yesterday, there was work. Dealing with the aforementioned copyedited manuscript, with help from Jennifer (commas, commas, frelling commas!), and some work on caitlinrkiernan.com, and e-mailing an rtf of "Mercury" to Bill Schafer, and so on.
Last night, after arduous application of prosthetics and liquid latex and bindi, we went to the Rasputina show at the Echo Lounge. Thanks to the band for putting us on the guest list (that's about what it takes these days to get me to a show). It was great to finally meet Ryan Obermeyer (who is currently the Rasputina merch slave), and, of course, Melora and Zoe and Jonathan rocked immensely. The cover of "Barracuda" was beyond amazing. The first of the two opening bands, Daikaiju, unexpectedly blew me away. Fantastic. Surf in Kabuki masks. Big Japanese monster music. If these guys come anywhere near you, see them. Absolute guitar orgasms, which was the perfect appetizer for absolute cellogasms. Rasputina finished up about 2 a.m. and we swung by The Chamber's Halloween bash for a bit, as there was suspension. By the time we got home, I barely had enough wakefulness left to get all the make-up off and crawl into bed. Oh, and it was good to meet Bryce, who was very sweet and is from Augusta and was not the least bit "stalkerish."
The eBay little-monster-doodle thing is over. Wow, you guys wanted little monster doodles. I think I have about thirty-five to do. What this means is that there will be a little delay on shipping these books. I should have your doodles done by Tuesday and Spooky can get the books in the mail. But I also have to get lowredmoon.com up and running, as Low Red Moon will be out on Tuesday and I am way behind. So, please, thank you and be just a little patient, 'kay?
And today is gaming day, so I'll be half-dragon/half-drow for a few hours, before the chaos begins again tomorrow.
