My favorite series of second-person books is the "Choose your own adventure" series. I got tired of the Choose Your Own Adventure books pretty quickly, but found their British counterparts, the Steve Jackson/Ian Livingstone Fighting Fantasy series and J.H. Brennan's very, very funny GrailQuest books, to be more than worth the three or four bucks a book that they cost for a few hours' entertainment... damn, that was almost twenty years ago. Are any of these things still in print, I wonder?
Found the time to watch about 1/3 of Step Across the Border tonight (it's been out in Japan for a couple of weeks now, and actually had a small display up in the new music section at Tower when I picked mine up two weeks back), but since I've never seen most of the musicians involved in person, I'm rarely sure who I'm seeing. Is the really young French guitarist Rene Lussier? (I think I recognize his voice from the one time I met him a couple of years back, but he looks *so* young here that I just can't tell.) Similarly, was that Haco playing the piano in the little apartment just after they left the Selluloid Restaurant? As a newcomer to the bulk of the music presented here, it's really cool to see it being created so close up... by far the most instructive viewing since seeing Eugene Chadbourne at work from about three meters away. -me
