oh man I'd come but the idea of going down the peninsula on a non-work day seems pretty awful to me

[lifftchi]

Come on, show up. How long has it been since you've played Pump it Up, anyway?

[galewolf]

Congratulations on the book!

[lifftchi]

Thanks! I'm just glad it's over. You have no idea how appealing a career in fast food starts to look after a while.

How cool! Congratulations!

[lifftchi]

Well, you know, I would probably have enjoyed traipsing around South America more. But I am quite happy with the whole thing.

[wheezieness]

What? This book thing is pretty awesome and I'm happy for you and a little jealous.

[lifftchi]

Haha. I don't mean to imply that I don't think having the book published is awesome, or that I don't feel giddy when I see it. It is, and I do, and I'm grateful to No Starch for actually producing this crazy thing. But it was a lot of work. I wrote a long post talking about it -- but then I realized, we're both in LA. If you want to hear about it, pick a bar or someplace, and we'll toast the written word.

Exciting!!!

[lifftchi]

You know, despite all my misgivings, I finally took a look at some of them and they aren't that bad. Flipping through it, it feels remarkably like a real book, written by an authority figure.

the voice of authority

yeah, terrifying.
