Armageddon comes to LIC...

Eric and I have gotten hooked on a new wine store on Jackson Avenue, Vine Wine. It's totally hip and fantastic and affordable. Dangerous, is what it is... Now if I could only find an apartment here I could both afford and not freeze to death in, all would be well....

Interview Tomorrow

I'm going to be on the Leonard Lopate show tomorrow, should you be interested. I'm doing it, live I believe, from 12:40 to 1, EST. Can't promise I'll say anything interesting - we'll see.

Should be able to come up with something funny to say about Natick...

...but no. Forgive me, I'm a little fried.

So the event at Natick, MA was a dinner, recipes from MtAoFC at Maxwell's 148. Beet and Potato Salad, Gnocchi with Cheese, Swordfish Provencale, and Apple Upside Down Cake. It was all quite lovely - a small event, so I got to talk to everybody, which is nice.

I have to say I was sort of dreading it. Natick is a real strip mall sort of place. Actual suburbia, which I realize I haven't spent much time in. But the restaurant was beautiful, and the people who coughed up the $75 to attend were very enthusiastic and fun. A book group of about 8, a quartet of women friends plus another trio, and two couples - a younger one who had reason to sympathize with my stupid Syndrome Worries, and a slightly older one who seemed to enjoy me even though - as they let me know in the comments today - they're actually sympathetic to the conservative cause. Hear hear to open thinking! Even when I can't do it!

I am not really very interested in falling into political chatter, but I would like to just say - I have no problem with conservatives, or even - despite my upbringing - with Jesus lovers. I hate evil people. Not all Republicans are evil, but in my experience, most evil people are Republican. Including, unfortunately, most of the people running the country.

That's my incredibly deep and insightful political commentary for the day. Feel free to appropriate as needed.

I mean tonight. Tuesday, December 6th. Me, Natick, Mass. Be there.

With my usual last-minute je nais se quois...

(...not to mention utter illiteracy in French...) I'd like to let any of you residing in or near the lovely hamlet of Natick, Massachussetts that I will be in your neck of the woods, major blizzard or not, tomorrow night. From 7 to 9, I will be at:

Maxwell's 148
148 E. Central Street
Natick, MA

...talking and eating and conning people into buying my book. This is a ticketed event, and I'm assuming the tickets are not exactly super cheap, but there are still some available, at (508) 907-6262.

See you there? Perhaps?
