Teenage Imposters + A Reprint


Teenage Imposters
Originally uploaded by Snurri.
Was at the Hideout AKA the best bar in the world last night to see my friend Bran's new band, the Teenage Imposters. Bran's been on a quest for the perfect two-minute pop song for about fifteen years. If he finds it, he might stop playing in cool bands; so if you know where it is, hide it!

Also, found out that my story "The Ichthyomancer Writes His Friend with an Account of the Yeti's Birthday Party" (AKA the story with a title so long that I cut-'n-pasted it rather than type it out) is going to be in the rockin' new Best of Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet anthology, along with a bunch of other lightweights like, oh, Karen Joy Fowler, Karen Russell, Jeffrey Ford, James Sallis, and Nalo Hopkinson. (Also Doug Lain and Geoff Godwin, unless I miss my guess.) If stuff like this keeps happening I might have to get me some class.

They're even reprinting my one published poem. (And paying four times what I originally got for it, too.)

Heh, I didn't even think about that! I'm getting more than twice for this one than for all three stories I've sold them combined.

Also, I forgot to say: Congrats! See you in the TOC!

Likewise!

Dude, look at you! Congratulations!

No, no, don't look at me.

OK, OK, look at me!

(Thanks.)

likely guess not missed...let's share TOCs forever.

Awesome. Is it the one from #13?

ten

So many of the cool people in one place. Utterly delightful.

Yay -- we are TOC-mates. Though I don't actually know which two advice columns they're reprinting.

That last one was pretty damned awesome; that should be one of 'em.

[identity profile] bondgwendabond.livejournal.com 2007-01-08 03:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Awww, thanks. (Struggles to remember which one that is...)

:)

I'm thinking of the one where Aunt Gwenda was preoccupied with some type of poison, the name of which is escaping me . . .
