• johnjosephadams: @2muchexposition it was, and I was! Actually the show let out right around then, so we were probably within a block or two of each other.
   
• johnjosephadams: @JeremiahTolbert Dude those people are fucking crazy. You rock, that story rocks, and that’s all there is to it. My yeti agrees.
   
• johnjosephadams: @lingtm I don’t understand why anyone would cast Tom Cruise in a samurai movie. Don’t try to understand it. Go watch Throne of Blood instead
   
• johnjosephadams: @diminutivetiger What’s it like in there?
   
• johnjosephadams: is readin ur slush pile, rejectin ur stories.
   
• johnjosephadams: just read a cover letter: ‘ms. not needed back. Just send money.’ Which prompted a pffft! from me.
   
• johnjosephadams: : after reading a story that stupid I need a break. Luckily it’s lunchtime.
   
• johnjosephadams: @JeremiahTolbert Awesome! Stress-be-Gone! Health insurance, here you come.
   
• johnjosephadams: @JeremiahTolbert Hearing that makes me want to go torrent some magic.
   

Friday:

• johnjosephadams: is going to lunch with Ellen Datlow and other genre illuminaries.
   
• johnjosephadams: @lingtm Ellen wants to know if you’re going to worldcon or world fantasy.

• johnjosephadams: @IreneGallo How can you distinguish it from all the rotting flesh?
   
• johnjosephadams: just watched Gattaca (again) then engaged in some intellectual discussion about it with pals. Ain’t being a geek in NYC grand?

• johnjosephadams: : Go listen to my friend Jeremiah Tolbert’s story on Podcastle this week; It’s made of awesome: http://tinyurl.com/6a3eq7
   
• johnjosephadams: @MaryRobinette Bacon? OMG, someone tell John Scalzi!

• johnjosephadams: @JeremiahTolbert Dude, good luck on your interview!
   
• johnjosephadams: is going to see AT THE GATES in concert in a few minutes. Go here to hear what you’re missing: http://www.myspace.com/atthegatesband
   
• johnjosephadams: At the fucking At The Gates show waiting for the first band to setup. METAL!
   
• johnjosephadams: is reading a fantasy story on his phone while at a metal show GEEK!
   
• johnjosephadams: is not impressed with the first band. Why is this hardcore band opening my metal show?
   
• johnjosephadams: thinks they wouldn’t be a bad metal band if not for the crappy hardcore vox.
   
• johnjosephadams: they’re called Municipal Waste btw if you want to check them out after my glowing recommendation.
   
• johnjosephadams: Funny that’s what they call themselves. I was thinking of calling them something similar.
   
• johnjosephadams: wishes this band would get devoured by zombies.
   
• johnjosephadams: well, maybe just the lead singer.
   
• johnjosephadams: Darkest Hour played second. Some guy was shouting ‘Death to false metal!’ in between their songs.
   
• johnjosephadams: DH’s lead guitarist is a bad-ass. I say any band with a guitaist like that can’t be false metal.
   
• johnjosephadams: At the Gates totally rocked. Ended with “Blinded by Fear,” and there was no way they could have topped that performance, so a perfect end.
