China Mieville is awesome.

Had such a great time with this fella, and his theories and philosophies are not only insightful but useful. I'll post my notes tomorrow or thereabouts when I have some energy again. He's a fine reader and a phenomenal Q&A speaker. Keep an eye open for his next work - can't wait! For those of you who made it to his reading yesterday and his talk tonight, thanks for coming out and I hope you enjoyed. For those who missed it, be sure to catch him when he's in your neighborhood.

Now the martinis and cupcake are wearing off, so it's bedtime. 'Night!

Best,
Chris

Yay for good visiting lecturers! I'm glad you had an opportunity to hang out with him. He seemed pretty darn faboo.

I'm very glad you took notes. About a third of the way through the lecture, I thought to myself that I should have taken them myself, for future reference.

The lecture was recorded, yeah? Any chance of getting a copy of that?

Yup, video-recorded, and the fellow who did it hopes to have a 5-minute clip in a week or so, then a fully edited video within the month!
