1) It's snowing in Toronto - and all over the Northeast - and all my travel home today is fucked up. Now trying to decide - do I just give up and rebook (again) for first thing tomorrow morning? Or do I go to the airport and wait it out in the hope of getting home tonight? I really want to go home. I miss my people and I have to leave again on ( Read more... )

I am a lot of places in the next month, including Atlanta, Chicago, and all over Atlantic Canada. Tour schedule is at www.sbearbergman.com, just click on the calendar to see a list. I'm still filling in some of the information, but: tell your friends! Bring them with you to shows! Send them emails forested with exclamation marks and get them on ( Read more... )

3) I almost certainly have the energy to throw together kik alicha for dinner, yes? I mean, it's like three steps.

4) All those fucking live-on-beans-and-rice ( Read more... )

1) So for six months I've been sitting on a really great set of live, off-the-floor recordings of me and Ivan E. Coyote at Empty Sea Studios in Seattle, and we're going to make a live CD out of them.

What's the working title of your next book?

 1. It was Trans Day of Remembrance yesterday. I have observed each of them. My longtime friend Gwen is the founder of the event, and I have participated in some kind of TDoR event every year (though for the first few years, those events were internet-based).
