Jun. 4th, 2009 12:42 pmIn case anyone was wondering, Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer last night = AWESOME.
I only actually saw about half the show because I was bartending the other half, but I could hear the whole thing really well. Highlights included Neil reading an as-yet-unpublished story about a CREEPY CREEPY LIVING STATUE that I refuse to believe was not influenced by a Certain Episode of Dr. Who, the two of them discussing Amanda's fondness for being naked and the suit that Neil bought off a drunk, and the book that got auctioned off for $1200, all proceeds going to Housing Works! (It is sort of amazingly exciting being at an auction when you actually have a vested interest because the money is For Your Organization, you get to cheer every time the prices goes up and do booty dances! Admittedly the beer may also have helped with that.)
It was actually on the way home, at midnight after the beer and some heavy lifting and no food since noon, that I finished Edward Kritzler's Jewish Pirates of the Caribbean. So I may not have the most coherent thoughts on it. But I am going to try anyways!
( In short: entertaining but I have reservations )
