Rod Val Moore’s story is a delightful romp - a love story like no other. Have Wikipedia on hand and get ready for a ride! This read is great fun accompanied by sharp insights into the human psyche.

Love this interview. Auster ftw! By the way, a lot was cool about the 90s. Nirvana (the entire grunge scene actually), Soundgarden, Tool, RATM, RHCP (if you stretch it), and if you want to consider an outlier then Jeff Buckley, definitely. Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails, Green Day, Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, Oasis, No doubt, R.E.M, The Pixies, Blur, Sonic Youth, The Verve (too bad they were playing the same time as Oasis, else they would have been the biggest thing in the UK), U2, Portishead, Limp Bizkit...

Re: Calypso: Meeting David Sedaris - Queen Mob's Tea House

Posted on 9th Apr 2019

Hi- I think you just wrote out what I've been feeling about this whole 'don't confuse mistakes for microagressions' thing. I've always thought David Sedaris was brilliant, but I saw a short video where he speaks about these two incidents and it left a bad taste in my mouth. Reading this made me upset as well, and I feel i would've gone through the same emotions as you did. What an uncomfortable situation to be placed in- the laughter from the rest of the people almost makes you feel like you are the one overreacting, doesn't it? I'm glad you had the nerve to speak to him about it, I would've just wimped out.
