Thanks to Jim Freund, I should be able to send you an MP3 of the event, Charles. I'll know for sure tomorrow or the day after.

It's things like this that make me loathe living in the West (otherwise, I love it).

"It's things like this that make me loathe living in the West (otherwise, I love it)."

Most people I've buttonholed about my participation in this event say it's things like this that make them loathe living in NYC . . .

hahahaha! if I were an imbiber I'd toast one to you, just for that remark alone. :-D So I shall raise my cup of Earl Grey to you instead.

"So I shall raise my cup of Earl Grey to you instead."

And my mug of Tetley's British Blend is raised by way of return . . .

As far as I know now, I'll be there.

And then, I need to get to La Mama, coz a very long-time friend is the composer for the opening night of a gig there. So I need to hook up with the crew at some point. But that hookup will certainly be post your reading. As far as I know now.

Love, C.

P.S. I'm glad you're recovering. But I had no doubts ... I think ....

Another P.S. I believe Jim Freund of Hour of the Wolf, of WBAI, records everything at the KGB readings and -- eventually -- they can be found on his website, or whatever he's doing with these decades of recording archives of readings he's got.

Wonder if he's thought of data migration ....

Nevertheless the number of sf/f writers he's recorded reading their own work is phenomenal.

"I believe Jim Freund of Hour of the Wolf, of WBAI, records everything at the KGB readings"

Now you mention it, I believe I've been told this before. I'll ask him about it tomorrow. Perhaps Charles will get his wish after all . . . in a resounding example of the necessity to be careful what one wishes for!

Some of 'em are at the Hour of the Wolf site I think: http://www.hourwolf.com/toc.html

In fact, if he's been recording earlier KGB readings, he should have a couple of other instances of me mangl . . . um, presenting my work.

Sounds fun too. Tell more, pretty please!
