Morning.

How is everyone?

As you may have noticed, we opened on Friday. A good time was had by all. We had a good-sized audience, envoy, (who I had just met on that Wednesday, and who is a lot of fun), was in attendance, as well as representatives from the three major papers (two dailies, one weekly). The cast and a good part of the audience trooped over to a house party afterwards, wherein the host entertained us on his guitar and we all sang along to such timeless classics as "Lake Street Whore". Good times.

I also managed to get a run in on Friday, thus allowing me to slack off for the rest of the weekend. Okay, I shouldn't have slacked, but I was tired, man....

Saturday? I did nothing. That's right, nothing. Nothing at all. And it was fan-freakin'-tastic. Well, okay, I had a show, but up until then? Nothing. I slept and read. Soooooooo nice.

I'm re-reading Neuromancer, and I continue to be fascinated by that book. Gibson did such a good job of world-building that I don't care that the plot is a pretty standard one. Also, it doesn't feel like the book is 20 years old. Most of the technology described is still just out of our reach, and still plausible. I wouldn't mind having mirrored insets like Molly's.

(Note: apologies for my choppy prose this morning. I stayed out a wee bit too late last night.)

(And now it is afternoon, because of silly stupid admin-thingys)

Anyhoo...

It was a sociable weekend, between opening, parties on Friday & Saturday, and karaoke on Sunday. Very sociable. I also managed to get to Target and purchase more organizing things for the apartment, so it will look like we actually live there instead of just squatting amongst our boxes.

I had other thoughts, but they are gone. Gone gone gone gone gone.

Oh, and if anyone is curious? Here's the link to the postcard photo for "Picasso". Like I said, an interesting photo shoot.

I find it interesting that Gibson's later writing and interest fell so much closer to home. Perhaps he's waiting on us to catch up to him with our technology.

I know! I had a moment of "Oh!" when I was reading about the acessorized kids with their inputs built into their skulls. We're not that far off, really.

And yes to the world-building. You captured exactly what I love about it, that they're so believable and real inside of it.
