Tomorrow evening, Wednesday the 9th, I’ll be in conversation at Diesel in Santa Monica, Calif., with my pal Mark Sarvas in honor of his splendid new novel @UGMan. Perhaps I’ll see you there?
And at the end of the month—literally the end of the month, on Thursday the 31st—I’ll be moderating (for the first time!) a live-and-in-person Stet! evening at Village Well Books & Coffee in Culver City, Calif. And perhaps I’ll see you there?
Events aside, this tidbit was put in front of me the other day, and I thought that it might amuse you.
It’s from a Rolling Stone article, I note, noting that Rolling Stone’s been doing some especially brilliant journalism lately, of which this is not that. I mean, however much the author of the article might be twenty-six, handsome, and charming, surely we should be learning more about this Reinspects person, wouldn’t you say?1 As well, the “Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow” soliloquy does not come anywhere near to closing Macbeth, which as easily verifiable facts go is pretty darn easily verifiable.
Other than that . . .
I’m grateful for the kind and supportive responses I received re my last post, in which I let it be known that, with some regret but I think for sound reasons, I was going to restrict comments going forward to paying subscribers. I underline here, as it’s literally underlined above (so you can read all the details if you haven’t already), that my posts themselves will remain nonpaywalled. (I also haven’t gone back and locked down comments on the hundred-odd previous missives, in case you need to get something out of your system.)
That’s that for today. I’ll be back asap with something theoretically amusing and/or substantive.

P.S. Today is the first day of Amazon Prime Day, which somehow manages to run four days, in honor of which I encourage you to purchase a copy of Dreyer’s English (or any other book, for that matter) anywhere else on the planet, including (and you can get mine signed/inscribed!) at the charming Small World Books in Venice, Calif.
I see what I did there, as they say. 😉
Re: Rolling Stone—that article you “note, noting” lacks a musicality, note-wise or unwise.
Wish I could be there!
