On my way out the door, guys. I have a train to catch! MoCCA awaits!
Look for me. I'll have a table, a "Templar, Arizona" banner, and I'll look a whole lot like this, unless something very unusual happens in the next two days.
I'll have copies of TAZ, book one, a sign-up sheet for pre-orders for book two, a few of my dwindling supply of shirts, and commissions on offer. And I'll be terribly lonely! Come say hello!
Curses! I wish I could stop by but I've got a conference tomorrow.
Someday....someday I will see you at one of these cons.
Aw hell yeah you're going to GTAIV?
*envy so much*
Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge, Empire State where Dylan lived. Coney Island and Times Square. Rockefeller Center, wish I was there....
Any theories on what the... weapon... is? It looks like a taser jury-rigged with a pistol grip and trigger to me. The kind that just has two contacts instead of the wires that shoot out. Do the Jakes have anything against the use of lethal force that we've heard of?
Cause everyone's my friend, in New York City...
Damn, I'm gonna have that song stuck in my head all day now.
and everything looks beautiful, when you're young and pretty...
Haha, of course. The weekend I actually have shit to do.
They Might Be Giants lyrics I spy there? How classy.
I can hardly tell who's who in these last pages, what with all the robes and bald heads.
Sushi- I gonna go ahead and say that's a gun.
I think the previous commentary decided that it was a zip gun.
Has Apollo even yet said a word? I wonder if there's a Jakeish reason for that, or if he just defers to Feather (that's Gene's mom's name, isn't it? I seem to remember that that's what Spike called her, because her name's written in Gene's little tube necklace).
I think they're technically Cub lyrics.
Cub's pretty awesome.
Spike, you're probably the first person I've seen, black or not, that doesn't have nappy natural dreads. I'm jealous, I was supposed to get dread extensions last Saturday, but some things came up. Plus, riding trains are fun.
toots to you Miss Spike. DI
Just answering a question for a few posts back regarding what "unnumbered" might mean.
My theory is "unnumbered" refers to whatever racial/ethnic groups the Jakes consider inferior. As in, if Africans are "first man" and Asians are "second man", Europeans are "third man" then the unnumbered are everyone else.
The unnumbered seem to be the police, if i'm getting her meaning correctly.
My thinking is the "unnumbered" is everyone not Jakeskin. Sort of like in the Jehova's Witness and other Christian-sect mythologies where only a certain _number_ of people are pre-ordained to get into Heaven.
Oh, and congrats to Spike for making her nut for the second book. When will I get my copy?
I have never understund this blog!
I can't resist: why do you read it, then?
Oh I cannot WAIT to see what Jackie gets herself into when she starts messing with Scip. He's not going to do much but look confused ... but you can bet some other people will have their opinions (and don't forget Flora!).
Liberty, in modern time, is generally considered a concept of political philosophy and identifies the condition in which an individual has the ability to act according to his or her own will.
I suddenly fear for Flora, now that someone's mentioned her. I can't imagine that the Jakeskin wouldn't think she'd be extra tasty...
'Cause everyone's your friend in New York city! Huzzah for TMBG! Good luck in New York!

Oh gawd! Spike is dead! New York killed 'er! You took another one, you son of a suburb!
Seriously though, I am joking. Don't anyone go freaking out.
