My duo with Kate Stewart made its public debut last night at the open mike, to great acclaim from two of our friends. It looks like we'll perform all of twice before I leave the state; the second time is on Saturday at my going-away party. Okay, it's not what you'd call a sustained career, but I'm delighted that we managed to play out at all.

The lineup for Saturday, from 7 to 11: Altamont Pass, Dave Ray, Solace (the aforementioned duo), Nick Bartunek, With River (Philip Rodriguez and Colin Carthen), a short solo set from me, and Tin Cat. I don't know about you, but, well, I like all of these bands. I'll definitely be going.

oh yeah, a couple more things

I've been introducing people to Pokey the Penguin.

The gorilla, she always remembers.

Like dougo said: James Urbaniak, aka Doc Venture and the other guy from Henry Fool, is on LiveJournal. And he's funny!

I sold a bunch of comics for $10 in store credit. What should I get? (I can go over budget, IF I MUST.) I haven't bought any comics since Persepolis.

This is probably about it for the giveaways, at least for now. The books are pretty much gone, and I'm sure there are still plenty of CDs I don't need, but it's time to stop listening and deciding, and start packing and shipping.

Addendum: The Pet Shop Boys medley of "Where the Streets Have No Name" and "I Can't Take My Eyes Off You", which I completely adore but have on another CD. Also includes "Bet She's Not Your Girlfriend" and a remix of "I Want a Dog".
