Hi folks, I've started us on a new one, over here: http://viachicago.org/topic/49623-now-reading-in-2014/

The last one, for reference: http://viachicago.org/topic/44974-now-reading-in-the-new-new-new-year/ Thanks for posting that - I just added it to my library queue. He keeps getting better.

I had never heard this story before! But I love it.

His mother "says she and her son call themselves huggers". As an avowed non-hugger, it's astonishing to me how many huggers feel that their "right" to hug me takes precedence over my right to not be hugged. I don't know what his past disciplinary problems were, but it seems likely he's been warned about this previously.

Warn your kids. I take excellent care of my teeth, but that first visit still wasn't fun.

When I was going to get my wisdom teeth out, the dentist told me that he could do it with just novocaine, that I didn't need to be put under unless I was really going to freak out. I told him yeah, I might freak out. So, he's pulling the first tooth, I can hear it cracking and I panic and start to hyperventilate. The good news is, I only swallowed the tooth; apparently inhaling a tooth is a much bigger deal. Anyway, I didn't go back to a dentist for about 10 years after that...

Wish I could have made it to Night 2! I'm happy with what I got, though. Glad you all had fun!

PM sent.

If we were on a specifically Christian message board, I'd guess that a lot of people would say yes to that. But we're on a pop music message board, so...

A very sweet show. Some minor talk-back from the crowd, but nothing disruptive. Lots of singing-along, in a good way (non-shouty!). Quite a few songs I hadn't heard solo before, and every one was a gem. And there was definitely a taper there.

Sold.

I have one extra ticket, and can meet you outside the show. Will PM you now.

I seriously don't know why this thread wasn't locked after this:

I've got two extra tickets for the solo show at the Fillmore on Wednesday. Face+fees+shipping = $122, I'll take $100 for the pair. Please PM or reply here with an e-mail address or number where I can text you.

I've got one extra ticket for the solo show at the Fillmore on Wednesday. Face+fees+shipping = $61, I'll take $50 for it. Please PM or reply here with an e-mail address or number where I can text you.

Hi, PM me if you're still looking for tickets.

I have heard it used as a verb, by several different people. Doesn't mean it's technically correct, but it's in semi-common usage. I don't think it's unreasonable to speculate on whether the Tweedys will continue to put this much time and effort into supporting a school once their kids don't attend any more. Most people I know quit the PTA once their kids graduate. Also, their support translates to shows that people on this board attend, so I can understand the interest in whether or not those shows might continue. Also, the Tweedy kids have been in the public eye for a while, their par

Please check your PMs.

We normally just have white lights, but that sure is pretty.

I have one extra ticket. Face + fees + shipping = $61. I'll be at the show, so can meet you there to hand off a hard ticket (not e-mail).

deadmau5.

Ha! I went about six months this year where I didn't read anything (can't really say why), and now I feel like I'm gulping a big glass of water after being so very thirsty.

Just finished Volumes 4, 5, and 6 in the Jack of Fables graphic-novel series. I'm looking forward to getting back to the non-Jack Fables, I'm just not too crazy about him as a character. Also: Interesting, but not as compelling as her memoir, which I highly recommend: Now on to Telegraph Avenue, then and and
