Tomorrow at Boxcar!
Cassie J Sneider & Nicole J. Georges will be stopping by Boxcar books in
support of Nicoles rad graphic novel / memoir Calling Dr. Laura, which
Rachel Maddow called “an engrossing, lovable, smart and ultimately poignant
trip through a harrowing emotional bottleneck in family like.”
Nicole J. Georges is an award-winning educator, illustrator and pet portrait artist from Portland, Oregon. Nicole has been publishing the autobiographical comic Invincible Summer since 2000, and has toured the country extensively, including two month-long appearances on Michelle Tea’s Sister Spit the Next Generation. Her work has been featured in Tin House, Bitch Magazine, The Rock n Roll Camp for Girls book, and more. In her spare time, Nicole gives advice at asknicolegeorges.blogspot.com and volunteers with senior citizens.
Cassie J Sneider is the author of the life-changingly hilarious memoir Fine Fine Music, a memoir about growing up on Long Island, getting into rockandroll, and having many minimum-wage jobs along the way. She has been touring and performing around the country with comics and zines since 2008, and she hosts a monthly storytelling series called THE WORST! in Brooklyn and San Francisco.Today is Casimir Pulaski Day. Here’s an early demo. Not sure when I recorded this, but I was obviously still working it out. XXOO Sloppy Joe.
Her jacket is a work of art. There’s a Kids in the Hall skit where Satan gives a stoner the ability to grow weed out of his head in exchange for his perfect denim jacket: that’s the kind of denim jacket Maria has. Satan would kill for her jacket. Here are its patches: The Bouncing Souls, White Zombie, the word fuck, a little girl holding giant scissors (on plaid), Hello My Name Is DYKE, and, the coup de grace, the whole back is the cover of the first Poison album. It’s not even ironic. Poison rules.

Colored glass in an old warehouse gives new life. Daniel Buren: Vitrage pour Sainte Marie (2012)
Writing a novel is like writing a computer program. The goal of this program is to create an output (the actual words of the book) of a certain nature (the theme of the book). But to generate it, you fiddle with the functions/methods within the program (characters), the order in which you call them up, and the parameters you assign them (plot, conflict, setting). The source code requires less memory than the output. It’s algorithmic, generative. And when written well, it can lead to an end result that’s wonderfully complex, that takes on a life of its own.
An update from Jack Cheng about his experience of writing his first novel, These Days. I suspect it will be wonderful, but that really won’t matter because it’s been worth it just to follow along with him in the process. (via couch)Quantity produces quality. If you only write a few things, you’re doomed.
Wisdom from the great Ray Bradbury, one of the great losses of 2012.
See more of Bradbury’s collected wisdom on literature and life, then watch this fantastic 1963 documentary about his life and ethos.
More famous advice on writing here.

French photographer Cerise Doucede creates surreal photos of teeming objects that take her up to three days to hang. Makes you appreciate photoshop.
Unlikely romances in film always rank as my favorites, Delicatessen being one of the unlikeliest -and best!
