Still in Kansas City

I’m going to hide out in Kansas City for a bit until the book comes out. It’s been a long time coming – glad Alberto at least made me save all of those Zines we did together back in the day. Going to be something to see it all.

Cold now in the Fall time. Only hear the train whistles. Remember my days in San Francisco well. Think all of us have those warm memories of time long gone, though time doesn’t really just fade away. It doesn’t vanish or go anywhere.

Been waiting for the right time to get the book out there and I think this is it. Everyone walking around with their heads bowed down – it’s a bit crazy I think. Nobody is looking up. Everyone wants to have something to connect to – something to hold on to in this world. Perhaps all of the cell phones and iPads are that very thing. We might believe it’s the person we want connections with.

Have no idea myself. Wondering what the effect of the book will be. My mom is telling me to calm down – that books just take on lives on their own. Took on a life of my own as well when in San Francisco back in those days. Strange being a woman now when I was such a girl back then. Mature, what does it mean?

Believe that this work is going to change the way folks think – Going to have them move away from what they have been told they knew, but I’m not sure. Folks are stubborn.

Guess it’s time

The publisher told me I had to wait until the book came out, but I’ve never really been one to follow what anyone says. Never did me any good. Been working in this industry for so long, it’s doing something to my insides, so I have to write these. You’d never know it was me if you were sitting across the table from me.  That’s the point of being undercover I guess.

We’ll know in late december if I’m right. Think I was.

Alberto was good to help me as much as he did. There was so much more I wanted to say to him, but you never really get the chance to say what you want to the person you want to say it to. Can’t really tell anyone where I’m at these days. Been hearing about people who saved their copy of Luddite through all of these years. Like to hear that. They should be worth something, and give some validation to the book once it’s out.
