Photos and nostalgia

[cupcake_goth]

A photo from yesterday's event, and a SFD photo for today!

The event at Elliot Bay Book Co. with Clint Catalyst was all sorts of fun. Clint is a darling, and I wish we lived closer so we could hang out and gossip.

Between being at Elliot Bay Books, and finishing reading Kat Richardson's Underground last night, I am awash with mild nostalgia for the early 90s, when I spent a lot of time around Pioneer Square. Ah, the Catwalk, Fenix Underground, and the cafe at Elliot Bay Books. Or taking the freight elevator in the building my then-boyfriend lived in all the way down to the basement, then moving a couple of boards and exploring parts of underground Seattle. While wearing pointy boots, a black velvet dress, a motorcycle jacket, and usually clutching a clove cigarette, no less. (I look back upon those excursions now with a mild air of what was I thinking?!, but I must admit it was fun, if dangerous, for a variety of reasons.)

I picked up Kat Richardson's first two books after reading one of her short stories a few months back. Isn't it refreshing when an author writes about Seattle and they actually get the details right?

I loved meeting him. He was very sweet.

BTW, who were the alt.gothic folk that were referred to at the talk who got published? I'd like to read their stuff.

Glad you had fun.Cute outfits as always.
You don't have any pictures from your underground adventures do you? Curious now.

Anyway, Tomorrow's your Birthday right?
I have a surprise for you but I'm not showing you until then.

Happy B'Day

Here in Oz it's your birthday already, so I wanted to get in early.
Any plans? I am sure you with have a birthday-riffic adventure, which I am looking forward to reading all about.

*laughs* I recall that girl. :)

Question: I want to buy a signed print from your honey. How can I get hold of you both? Time is of the essence - we're leaving for a wedding in New Orleans on Thursday, and the groom is a Magic fan. Please contact me ASAP. Thanks!

happy birthday! :)

Meee-YOW. :) Shall I get all three of Kat Richardson's "Greywalker" series or can I pick up with "Underground" without having read the other two?

I know the early '90s weren't as romantic in actuality as they are in our heads, but I want I want I WANT to be able to go back to that time, knowing what I know now, and enjoy it all over again.

In other news, they say it's your birthday... =D
