Walter Mitty

Thanks! Since you like both Wilco and DFW, I will take your comments especially to heart. (If you say you like the poetry of Matthew Dickman, too. I'd think you have exquisite taste in words.) Have you read this old article in Rolling Stone about DFW? http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/23638511/the_lost_years__last_days_of_david_foster_wallace

LOL. I was on the fence about whether this was creepy, so put in the disclaimer. But you are right. I think when things are written anonymously they are higher on the creep factor than when there is a real by-line. Right now the writing part of me is an alter-ego, so I have to work on that... Made some changes, and will see how it sits... Thanks. Ok. Will try that.

I am a rusty writer trying to get started again, and a frequent lurker on this site. I am completely new to the whole blogging thing, and probably old fashioned since most of what I post is text. This forum seemed like a good place to start looking for constructive feedback. I welcome your comments. Thanks. http://dearjefftweedy.tumblr.com

Thanks! Is that a photo of the venue? Looks gorgeous.

I'm looking forward to the show at the Paradiso in Amsterdam next week (11/16/09), but am anxious about not being able to see anything. At 5'2", I am six inches below the average height for women in Holland, and a full foot shorter than the average Dutchman. (New Yorker article: http://www.newyorker.com/archive/2004/04/05/040405fa_fact ) I've been to Gen. Adm. concerts where I was crowded in by people way taller than me; felt like I was at the bottom of a well. I was going to try and get there early, to get a spot close to the front, but have heard that the stage was also quite high up.
