And I really liked his spirit

On the fifteenth, Will Shetterly and Emma Bull are coming to San Francisco for a book signing at Borderlands. I've wrestled with the public transportation angle, and 511.org promises me it'll take about two hours (not counting the four block stroll at the end) to get there from here. Google maps says forty-five minutes by car, but that doesn't account for traffic. Regardless, given that I get off work at six and the signing starts at seven, driving still sounds like a win. All I'd have to do is figure some parking. And not go insane.

On that note, I'm thinking of putting together a mix disc for Territory to give to Emma when she's there, a sort of wild west mix. Again, tracklist suggestions are welcome.

Right now I've got "Tombstone" by the Pogues and "Ghost of a Texas Ladies' Man" by Concrete Blonde. So you can see that I already have nothing in mind and am open to suggestions.

Sad Cowboy Song by Red Elvises? :-)

Sting also has one or two bizarre forays into c&w style musak. I'm thinking "I Hung My Head" but there's another one that I'm blanking on.

Also, Bujold is signing at Books, Inc in Mountain View this Friday at 7:30. If you're free, come join us. I think Chris is dressing up.

That sounds *far* more accessible. (:
I could even grab dinner before.
Does she have a new book?

Second part of the Sharing Knife duology.

And depending on when we get there, how crowded it is, how Teo is doing, etc... there might be food for us before or after or maybe gelato, or something to drink, if you were inclined to be slightly social.

Given that it's a Friday night, and another night sans housemate, I believe I would be so inclined.
