I ordered a copy, because Mr. Goat is awesome and the book seems cool.

Mr. Goat is doing a signing near here (Oxford, MS) so I will go buy my copy there and say hi dere.
― Malibu Stasi (WilliamC), Friday, 12 September 2014 18:46 (nine years ago) link
I fear I'll need to miss the LA signing, so I've preordered and wait with bated breath.
