First and foremost… I LOVE the drop in for Pip, “Bit my Sweet ass” Love that one! LOL. I laugh every time you use it. But, in that, it’s a hats off to Tee for using at the exact proper moment.
I will say when reading Phoenix Rising, I tried to figure out where Tee left of and Pip picked up, and in reverse. You two really blended together wonderfully. There were a few places I could guess, but over all, it was hard to tell.
Thanks again! And I’m planning on a few photos as well, er…part of reason for having a tag-a-long. He’s to take pictures for me. ;D
He got his first taste of Steampunk at a gaming convention he went to not to long ago and was asking me if I had heard of this “steampunk” style. I had to laugh.
And now I need to get back to listening to Alex White’s The Gearheart. *coughthankstoyoucough*
Thanks for another great show!
I have a quick comment on the proposed Amazon bookstore in Seattle. Seattle already has an independent bookstore (the University Book Store http://www.bookstore.washington.edu) that does amazing community outreach, including events with NYT bestselling authors. In the past year alone I’ve seen George R. R. Martin, Neal Stephenson, and Brandon Sanderson, just to name a few, give readings in Seattle. I often have the problem of there being *too many* readings to attend, particularly in the summer when the instructors from the Clarion Writing Workshop roll through. Borders never provided a comparable community experience in Seattle, in my opinion, and I dislike the idea of Amazon taking that away from the U Bookstore.
