Um, I'll just pull pints and pour things into glasses, I think.

Oh, and this time I spotted the Stan Lee cameo in Spider-man, he was on screen for only 2 seconds.
Hip hip hooray for ILX San Fran and ILX New York, on their magical meet up day!

I knew loads of bigger pros too. I was most thrilled to meet Jack Kirby, and I was good friends with Alan Moore for a while, but I knew dozens to some degree.
And can I get you a drink, Mark?
Anyway, it's finished now. I'm now watching the Glastonbury coverage on BBC Choice. Don't recognise the band.
instead of taking a train, jess decided to drive to nyc cz it was a nice day, but there was nowhere to park and all kindsa things went wrong and in the end it was too late to meet up after all, and he had to turn round and drive all the way back to philly in tears (well maybe not in tears on the outside but on the inside)
anyway it woz rubbish and expensive and his readers cried too
Oh fuck they've got Jools Holland and his band on from Glasto now
shows.
Jools seems a nice enough chap, but banning him from ever getting within five feet of a piano would certainly make the world a better place.

I'm assuming it's a drink, anyway. Any idea, CJ?
Of course, for all I know folks in Natal pound down the stuff starting at birth, so hey! And it's a good day for a get-together because it really is a beautiful day here in SF. Indeed, I'm about to get out of here and walk up to the meet-up. Talk to everyone again on Tuesday, that's when I'll be near a computer again!
And Chupa, we don't actually care about your age here anyway, because this is an online bar serving online drinks, and we can and do serve anyone. Here you go - sorry it took a while to find, but with every drink in the world to search through...
What do I know? I've not got drunk since 1978!

Every day is so wonderfulAnd suddenly, it's hard to breatheNow and then, I get insecureFrom all the fame, I'm so ashamed
I am beautiful no matter what they sayWords can't bring me downI am beautiful in every single wayYes, words can't bring me downSo don't you bring me down today
To all your friends, you're deliriousSo consumed in all your doomTrying hard to fill the emptinessThe piece is gone and the puzzle undoneThat's the way it is
You are beautiful no matter what they sayWords won't bring you downYou are beautiful in every single wayYes, words can't bring you downDon't you bring me down today
No matter what we do (no matter what we do)No matter what they say (no matter what they say)When the sun is shining throughThen the clouds won't stay
And everywhere we go (everywhere we go)The sun won't always shine (sun won't always shine)But tomorrow will find a way All the other times
We are beautiful no matter what they sayYes, words won't bring us downWe are beautiful in every single wayYes, words can't bring us downDon't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down todayDon't you bring me down today

"and you (sic) know why you are a shit writer? you have no capacity or concept for beauty. you are self-absorbed. and because you are so self-absorbed, you have,(sic) absolutely no ability to see inside another's head. that's why you are fucked as a writer. personally, yr 'display' makes me realise what i suspect (sic) -- you are wet, wet and WET. another in the line of public-school-social throwbacks.
ps. i never read the blog because it bored me shitless. see you in the reminder (sic) bin."
i wonder if readers can guess who sent this wearily predictable missive.
