You're going to oakland but not LA? WTF.
Portland has a sad beauty to it. You should meat some interesting people there.
If you get a chance go down to pioneer square and chat with the society of homeless kids. They are interesting
"You should meat some interesting people there."
meat... are you saying i'm going to have sex there?
you should let some homeless kid filet your mingnon. nothing like a little au jus sauce on the ribeye.
Perhaps I did or perhaps I was hungry.
or perhaps I don't pay enough attention to the words.
I will try to come to the oakland reading. I will wear my domo-kun sweatshirt.
you should not have sex in oakland, it's dangerous.
I would offer a place, but you would then have to find a way to get from Los Angeles to Oakland, which is an uncomfortably long distance to travel in one day. I hope you found someone.
Tao,
Are you sure you're reading at Powell's?
I left Portland 5 years ago and I don't ever remember there being a Powell's on Hawthorne.
The main store is off of Burnside and the tech store is down the street.
You might want to verify your address of the store.
Stephen Elliot threw a beer at Howard Junker last week.
Howard Junker responded to Stephen Elliot, on his blog, with his usual erudition.
Tao Lin has already stated, on this blog, his intentions as to Tony O'Neil at an upcoming Literary Death Match.
Tony O'Neil: you should, in retaliation, offer Tao a position as editor of a 3AM anthology.
Why on earth would anyone want to edit an anthology? It's hell, nothing but hell, even if you get to sneak your own stories into it.
By the way, if you know previously-unpublished writers, send them on to me. I'm editing another anthology full of them.
That is my shameless plug for The Red Anthology of Hitherto Unknown Writers, Volume Two.
Powell's on Hawthorne.
I guess I should have looked it up but I like the mystery my laziness breeds.
Tao, you should go to the Horse's Brass if you want beer. It should be close by to that store. And make sure you visit the main Powell's bookstore if you get a chance. It's as big as Marco Roth's mansion.
you should post your anthology list sometime. i would like to see it.
Tao, in Portland there's a good vegan Thai restaurant a few blocks down from Powell's on Hawthorne, Vege Thai. There's another place I like downtown called Veganopolis.

i'm not a vegan anymore, this is the official announcement, i'm just a person

blake, are you talking to me or miles?
tao, you are a person
I thought Tao was made up. Is he still a person if he's made up?
You will have a very difficult time finding Portland if you are looking for it in Washington. Godspeed.
it says oregon now, i messed up
a bus is taking me there, the bus will find it
Matt Briggs sort of reviewed your book. And then The Stranger suggested the reading.
The Elliott Bay reading. They don't mention the University Book Store reading at all.
i was talking to tao
tao
you are going out west
you need a cowboy hat and some boots with spurs.
and have everyone call you Tuco Lin Outlaw.
The new event mailer came from Powell's today and lists our little buddy Tao:
Eeeee Eee Eeee
Thursday the 2nd of August @ 7:30PM
Powell's Books on Hawthorne
Controversial book blogger Tao Lin's strikingly stylish, funny,
and lyrical writing has generated such heat that Melville House
is publishing his first two books simultaneously. Lin's debut
novel, Eeeee Eee Eeee, is an un-self-conscious yet commanding
tour de force about the search for meaning in a culture gone mad
with celebrities and advertising. In the award-winning short stories
of Bed, Lin depicts young people in a surreal place between irresponsible
youth and workaday adulthood, wanting to reject both cultures
in order to craft something different.

i know this will sound a little self-involved, but wow, my hair looks great this morning.
I know this sounds a little Clay Banes involved but, wow, his hair looks great this morning.
You're on Wikipedia...did you know this???

I made a sign to use when I picked Tao up at the airport.
There was a person at the airport waiting for the same flight, and he was reading a copy of Benjamin Kunkel's book Indecision. I thought maybe it was a mafia-style hit. I rushed Tao out the door as quickly as possible.
We made it.
I thought Ben Kunkel assassins couldn't read.
Oh, they were pretending to read. I see.
A short list of things missing from my apartment ever since Tao Lin stayed over:
1 box of cigars, Cuban
1 naked photo of Klaus Kinski, signed
Complete collection, Archie and Jughead in Saigon comics
6 Japanese Fighting Fish, live (purchased to be used as celebratory dinner in the event novel is made "Oprah Pick")
1 real human skull, Paul McCartney (who we all know died on Wednesday, November 9, 1966), used as a candle holder
tao did murmer to me (or did he text-message?) that he was going to fly north and steal paul mccartney's skull.

Naw, he needs to grow out his lucky mole hair.
He can stroke it during his readings.
That's the stuff right there buddy.
Tao borrowed a razor and shaved. I have saved the hair. If Tao shaves in one of your homes, you should also save the hair. When we have enough of it, we can make a fake beard for Tao and send it to him.
