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.

Muse's "Knights of Cydonia". Awesome, and much reminiscent of Will Shetterly's "Taken He Cannot Be".

Does that really play well without the visuals?
(I don't know if you saw it or not, but I started creating an RPG worldbook after seeing that video. Much like Wild Zero, it inspired me.)

Ahyes, I remember that! Anyway, from my own experience, I first heard that song on the radio and loved it long before someone linked the video. It's a combination of spaghetti-western music and ELO's "Fire On High".

Excellent! I have to go to iTunes to get Ziggy Stardust anyway.
