Me v. Bethlehem Shoals v. My Bloody Valentine

Bethlehem Shoals of FreeDarko saw My Bloody Valentine last night. I saw them last Wednesday. We compare notes here.

Random Sentence from BTG #1

"According to the New Orleans Times-Picayune, in the ensuing melee four people were arrested on charges including 'battery, inciting a riot, and cruelty to an animal after an angry patron punched a police horse in the neck.'"

The Ever-Shifting Release Date for Black Tooth Grin

I wish I had screen grabs of all the different iterations of the Amazon page for Black Tooth Grin, and especially all of the release dates that appeared there. The original, sort of wildly hopeful date was, I believe, sometime in November 2007. Then that was pushed back a few months. Then a year. I kind of lost track at one point. As of a few days ago, it was May 26. Now, and I do believe finally, it is June 1.

Since I received a finished copy in the mail over the weekend, I have to think it's not going to move again. If it does, I hope it's not by much, since Texas Monthly writer Mike Shea interviewed me for their June issue. Blatant plug, I know.

And here's an even more blatant one: that first link up there? Yeah, that one. Right after Amazon. There you go. You can pre-order your copy of
Black Tooth Grin by clicking on it. You know what? Here it is again, in case you're feeling lazy.
