So here goes the big scary weekend.
All I need now is to break out in zits, which, even at my age tends to happen on the exact day when I am scheduled to make an appearance.
So I will have zits and be homeless at the same time.
So, my apologies to Barry Lyga, whom, in my smugness, I invited to a barbecue at my home to taunt him about the nice weather in Southern California. Um... well... I live up in the mountains, and we're under a winter storm warning, expecting a foot of snow this weekend.
In most civilized parts of the planet (it's 20 miles from my home to the nearest traffic light), they do crazy things like plow streets after snowfalls. Not where I live, which will account for my acne-blemished homelessness.
I've been snowed out before.
It's lonely.
So I'm vowing to re-invent my zitty homeless self over my forthcoming lost and lonely weekend. I'm vowing to make the effort to fit in.
I'm making a list of things I'll need to do to accomplish my homeless/zitty/lonely re-creation, and it probably will begin with something whimsical, like using an emoticon on my next blog entry.
I'm not quite ready to do it yet.
I'll keep you posted from the zitty-homeless-lonely-but-trying-hard-to-fit-in laptop this weekend.
Have I ever told you how much I despise the alleged "high-speed" internet access at lonely hotels?

Where are you? Big Bear? Running Springs?
Nothing to do with the Zitty-homeless guy-just wanting to fit in theme - but... I am checking to see if you received the blurb for Winger? I sent it yesterday. My email's on the fritz, though, so let me know if I need to resend.
I hope you don't get hit too hard by the storm. We're finally getting into the 50s and the snow has melted (six solid weeks of white stuff on the ground is a NYC record) so we're practically breathing spring here.
Wait--I thought you were going to be in Pasadena this weekend. Or am I confusing my events? I know I have something this weekend--thought it was the one you're at. But now I'm doubting myself. And I'm too lazy to pull up my calendar, so I guess I'll just be surprised.
Also...looking very forward to the emoticon. Is it asking too much for you to have an exclamation mark too?
Yes Shannon... I am going to be in Pasadena tomorrow. See you there.
I hope.
I'll add a squee! to your smiley and let you know it's a sunny clear 82 in Houston which is even perfect for the start of the Houston Rodeo (which is cool bc Kiss is playing).
Andrew, you'll do fine. I know you will because you have to. Just make it your deadline and go with it. HA!
