- I’ve gotten on the George R.R. Martin train — and yes, the HBO Game of Thrones adaptation is why, bravo most especially to Peter Dinklage. I’m also listening to the Roy Dotrice audiobooks. Huzzah for the type of narrative where the one thing you can depend on is This Won’t End Well.
- Misha Glouberman and Sheila Heti’s The Chairs Are Where The People Go: how to live, work, and play in the city. It’s hard to sum up what this book is about, so instead you can read a sample chapter, which is, in fact, about how to set up chairs for events.
- Stories Care Forgot: an anthology of New Orleans zines. I serendipitously found this right before actually going to New Orleans for ALA. It’s a really strong collection.
- It’s So You: 35 women write about personal expression through fashion and style, which I found at the very pleasing Palace of Industry.
- Marian Call and The Doubleclicks. I saw them last night at Bridge City Comics. Comics shop hosting geeky musical performances: yes Portland yes.

In the city there’s a thousand men in uniforms
And I’ve heard they now have the right to kill a man
We wanna say, we gonna tell ya
About the young idea
And if it don’t work, at least we still tried

I didn’t recognize the reference when I took the photo but you’re the second friend to point it out.
