First concert I ever went to? Steve Martin. With my mom. Who asked the guy next to us to put out his joint.<br /><br />Damn, I was SO COOL in the 70s.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4350897099326389300.post-28816114651045008082011-04-20T11:13:58.403-07:002011-04-20T11:13:58.403-07:00I have an old article of his that I run across at ...I have an old article of his that I run across at home once in awhile. He used to write for the New Yorker (maybe still does), and it was pretty funny. Something about the guy who invented CD wrappers going to Hell, if I remember correctly. Next time I see it, I'll make you a copy.medoughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10048460669214409357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4350897099326389300.post-135835075060541842011-04-20T09:35:29.103-07:002011-04-20T09:35:29.103-07:00Great read!!

An Object of Beauty is ok- not quite the same writing style, but not a total dud that you can't bear to get through. It's very art focused, and there are a few interesting twists and turns. If you like the other two, I'd say you'd like it enough.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00727985096723353538noreply@blogger.com
