No, this blog is not dead; I'm just swamped with work and other things besides as some of you probably know. In the last year or so -- and here's a confession of a kind of blog incivility -- I've only been able to keep up regularly with three or four blogs (you know who you are, blogger party people), but in the last few months I haven't even been able to read them either!
I've been to a couple of great shows recently (in particular, John Zorn and Ikue Mori at the Jazzschool), but haven't found the time to write about it.
1. The Poeta, whose second book of poems will be tackled by my Asian American Culture classes in the spring, has new poems posted online, at melancholia's tremulous dreadlocks and at ActionYes.
2. Gura's book out in December.
3. Special K and 40 post their Geary Street Project photos.
4. Plus some good news for once: I'm in good company.
re: #1: thanks.
re: #4: congrats again for this. such great news.
Go Sunny! May this mark a permanent turning of the tides for you!
(p.s. when Halloween rolled 'round, I was reminded of a certain cookie-making afternoon with four funny little girls...)

Posted by: Gladys on November 29, 2006 01:31 PMDude, you are always in good Company!! congratulations! I'm really looking forward to it.
Thanks for the Temple link: there goes my book allowance again!
Nothing like life to get in the way of blogging, is there?
Good to see you!

Posted by: brown on December 2, 2006 11:10 PMRE: Geary st. proj. There is some great liquor and convenience stores in my old hood (TL). Check out the abandon "hip hop threads" shop near Edinbrugh Castle and the like.
All the middle eastern liquor shops the size of a shoebox...there's much more, y'all not captured yet.
ooh, brown, re" "some other people..." that is juicy.
