I vote for the official afterparty to be on Monday, in Manhattan. I know Lizabelle, CrazyJoeDavola and I are all up for it as well. Ultimately it's up to Leitch, I guess, unless one of you will hold him steady while I apply the chloroform.

Making such a joke would require me to go to the basement, dig out my copy of The Story and Its Writer, skim through the story to find a pithy quotation to twist, etc. By that point this thing would be two posts old.

I have always been amazed that Paul and Andy Warhol were both from Pittsburgh.

And you know that notion just crossed my mind.

This old engine makes it on time,
Leaves central station bout a quarter to nine,
Hits river junction at seventeen to,
At a quarter to ten you know its travlin again.

Driving that train, high on cocaine,
Casey jones is ready, watch your speed.
Trouble ahead, trouble behind,
And you know that notion just crossed my mind.

Trouble ahead, lady in red,
Take my advice youd be better off dead.
Switchmans sleeping, train hundred and two is
On the wrong track and headed for you.

Driving that train, high on cocaine,
Casey jones is ready, watch your speed.
Trouble ahead, trouble behind,
And you know that notion just crossed my mind.

Trouble with you is the trouble with me,
Got two good eyes but you still dont see.
Come round the bend, you know its the end,
The fireman screams and the engine just gleams...

The really amazing thing about Will's appearance at B&N was the giant author's portrait on the wall over his right shoulder that made it appear (at least to those in the back) that he was dreaming of Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio the entire time.
