This is a total blog. I don?t care, fuck you.
I had another book signing tonight. Well, kind of. That fact is, god hates me and is actively working against me. My Fluffy Lord Satan doesn?t give hand outs. There was a massive train derailment down the street from where I was having my signing tonight, effectively shutting down an entire portion of town. Then, of course, it dropped another few inches of snow tonight. Downtown Kent was utterly dead.
Whatev?, I got drunk.
I got to Professor?s Pub at 6pm to set up and started drinking immediately. An hour and a pitcher of Magic Hat #9 later, people started showing up. It was a slow night and I made very few sales; most people wanted to simply drink. I got another pitcher, this time of a hard cider called Original Sin and my dad matched me. I drank a portion of his, too. We showed Silent Hill on the big screen ?cause it?s so visually dynamic, and we tried 28 Days Later, but the DVD was fucked up. We ended up going with a film called Ravenous that I love. I was trying to push both my book and the event drink specials ($2 BloodDrops), but after my 3rd pitcher was delivered I stopped caring.
My friends are all mostly raging alcoholics. The bar did well, so the manager picked up my tab. That was awesome of him. Regardless of the shitty sales, I had a great night. I?m currently drinking strong coffee in an attempt to sober up. Yes, I can pass out while still fully caffeinated. The only money I ended up sending tonight was what I fed into the jukebox; $10 for 24 songs. Everything from David Bowie to Dropkick Murphys, 311 to Peter Gabriel, U2 to At The Drive-In.
I hope everyone had a great week. I?m gonna go pass out here soon.
