new Gen reminder

[filkferengi]

Ookla The Mok, a filk rock band known for songs about Aquaman & ultimate secret agent Mr. Potato Head, among others, has a new EP out called Nerdvana. One of the songs on it is "Go To Bed" and rather reminded me of a certain Eugenides moment. You can preview the song here:

The problem is, now I'm hearing Eugenides rocking out. Which one? Discuss!

Awhile back, you saw info for a LeakyCon Lit Track meetup in Chicago.  Here are the details you've been waiting for, and an exciting announcement.  LeakyCon Lit Track will be held in Chicago from August 9 to 13.  You can read about it here.  

The ThiefCon meetup with Megan will take place on Wed., August 8 at 7:00 pm at Anderson's Bookshop in Naperville, Illinois.  Look for more info on Megan's talk and book signing at Anderson's site and on Megan's website.  Afterward, you can stay and chat with Megan and anyone who sticks around.

And now for the exciting, mysterious part.  Megan says:

I'd like to say that I will hand out something SPECTACULAR, but I am slow as usual on the
production front.  So, I will say that I will either hand out something cool, or I will hand out
25 coupons redeemable for a cool thing.

Who's gonna be there?
