Despite the fact that there was a need to beat a deadline, your correspondent evaded his responsibilities and will be chained to his laptop for the next thirty hours to get the assignment finished. But shortly after the fruitless quest for Dan Wickett, there was then an evening involving many additional places with many magnificent people with many crazed text messages and many phone calls and people coming and going and perhaps too many drinks. And because of these peregrinations, which were somewhat unanticipated, there is no entry on Filthy Habits this morning.
But oh those margaritas! And oh those hugs and kisses and talk of randy activity!
Weekend Diversions
Pardon the lack of new posts. We should have some fresh content here on Monday (along with two new Segundo shows you’re not going to want to miss). In the meantime, you can read two new reviews from me this weekend: my take on the new Vollmann in the Chicago Sun-Times and a review of Toby Barlow’s Sharp Teeth in yesterday’s Los Angeles Times.
