Brian's quite remarkable blog of wonder.

I've been a big fan of T. Coraghessan Boyle lately, and was delighted to find out that he's coming to do a reading and a rememberance of Writers' Workshop director Frank Conroy on Friday at the UI. The only problem is, on Boyle's web site, he said that this event would take place on Thursday, so I had work signed off on Thursday, and NOT on Friday. What's more, it turns out that the event is not a normal event that happens in the evening, but in fact a weird event that happens in the middle of the afternoon when I'm going to be at work. There goes my chance to see T. C. Boyle. I'm not too happy about this.
