That's Palahniuk you're quoting, nit Gibson!

If value, then copy?

She turned back to the screen and shivered at the face she saw there in a grainy freeze-frame headshot, avian eyebrows arched above dark eyes, high fragile cheekbones, and a wide, determined mouth. The image expanded steadily, into the darkness of an eye, black screen, a white point, growing, lengthening, becoming the tapered spindle of Freeside.

Picturing Bill as the model for 3Jane gives me the creeps. Kids in the Hall do cyberpunk creepy.

I don't know if this is really the right topic for this, but...

I just came across the news that Gibson is giving a lecture at UBC in Vancouver, B.C. tonight. I can't make it but maybe some of you can. The following is from the Vancouver Institute's website at

An Evening With William Gibson

Great tip, Chromatic Rat!

Hmmmm...

Thanks, Chromatic Rat!

"Yes, the young lady with the blonde hair?"

"Do you like chocolate cake and Ministry?"

I didn't go...I'm supposed to be reviewing someone's fiction. >_<

I fell asleep and then I watched Obama's speech.

I wrote a note to him and everything, but I have too many other things I am supposed to be doing tonight.

[/lame]

Go me!!!

I didn't see Obama's speech, alas.

You should just post an open invite for a public dinner with plenty of lighting somewhere on the board when the date is closer.

Addendum: I wrote a note to him and everything...
