emilygould: emilybooks: We made a meetup group for Emily Books which you should join.  Our next meetup is at The Commodore (366 Metropolitan Avenue) on Monday February 27th at 7:30 and you can RSVP to it here.  We’ll discuss the buddhist and drink and eat delicious pimiento cheese sandwiches.  We’ll also announce our March pick which is going to be … intennnnnse.  Side note: I made this invitation with MS Paint and someone should probably stop me before I create something that permanently damages some innocent person’s optic nerve.  (In other words if anyone would like to be our Very Occasional Graphic Design Intern we will be very profoundly grateful.) Sorry about this Emily is a wonderful writer and a gnarly television host but she’s terrible at graphics.

squeela: My last reading on this West Coast jaunt : Thursday, September 25th at 7pm at Elliott Bay Books in SEATTLE. [The photo is of Seattle’s branch of the Lusty Lady peephow, which closed for good in 2010. Books by girls who have worked at this joint: Bare by Elisabeth Eaves, the Lusty Lady by Erika Langley (a photo book). Another great Seattle-based writer who writes about the biz but never worked here is Sarah Katherine Lewis.] August 25th! Not September. Good thing I’m paid to proofread this.

Traveling in France

   

I spent last week in France – mostly in Paris and then a road trip southeast. I offer observations on both  not so nice and nice aspects of the culture:

Footnoted for your enjoyment!

 

Not So Nice:  Parisian cab drivers are surly grumps who scold you for leaving crumbs on the seat. [1]

Nice: Parisian cabs are top brand vehicles and kempt.

Not So Nice: French Yogalates are a joke; The instruction is not serious and poses are poorly executed. [2]

 Nice: Daredevilism thrives in France.[3]

Not So Nice: Hand held showers. [4]

 Nice: 9:30PM dinner.

Not So Nice: Horrendous Vuittonization of Champs-Élysées!

Nice: Sunken dollar has thinned out the Americans.

Not So Nice: French gents are paunchier than you think.

Nice: Italian lady tourists on Bateau Mouche are very flashy.

Not So Nice: All French pop is derivative of Rebecca Black.[5]

 Nice: French house bands sing it in English.

Not So Nice: The second floor is really the third floor because ground floor is zero. WTF.

Nice: The 2 Euro coin is sensible currency.

Not So Nice: $200 for a tank of gas.

Nice: We drove through the village of “Beure” (Butter!!) (sort of).

Not So Nice: Most French people are lazy fucks.[6]

 Nice: Income inequality is not nearly as out of whack as in America.[7]

Not So Nice: When lost in rural France, old ladies will deliberately mislead you.

Nice: The gas station fellow was very helpful.

footnotes:

1. They mouthed off about the gays being responsible for traffic deviation associated with LGBT Pride Parade (Marché des Fiertés).

2. As experienced in authentic basement studio on Avenue de Victor Hugo.

3. See Philippe Petit.

4. While Celsius is arguably a superior standard to our beloved Fahrenheit, American fully bolted shower apparatus from atop sets the bar for worldwide bathing specs.

5. Observed in same cab as in item 1.

6. Sociologists agree.

7. According to Gini coefficients as reported by The United Nations.
