I saw him in concert in OKC, Nov. 18, 1992. Rock City Cafe with special guests White Zombie and Kyuss. This is the concert where I punched out some drunk little mexican indian looking guy for trying to fight me. Then later I got dropped on my head in the mosh pit and woke up twenty minutes later at the bar. Good times.

if/then
I often times have trouble deciding what book to read when I finish one book and am ready to read another. Last time I noticed on Rudy Rucker's blog a mention of his favorite author: Robert Sheckley, so I chose Sheckley. I have a huge stack of unread books that seems to get deeper every year.
So I decided to do a fun little experiment. One that I could blog about here. In order to help me decide which book to read next, I will use the outcome of Super Bowl 43. The teams are the Arizona Cardinals vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers. The books are Scar Lover by Harry Crews or Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk. Since Arizona's never won a Super Bowl, they will represent Haunted, since I've never read Palahniuk before. I assume that since Pittsburgh's won so many Super Bowls that they will be favored to win. They represent Crews since he's one of my favorite authors and I've read as many books of his as the Steelers have been in Super Bowls: 6. A Feast of Snakes, Body, Car, Celebration, Knockout Artist, and The Mulching of America. It's six, right? I know they've won 5, and lost one to Dallas in 95.
So, anyway. If the Steelers win, then I read Scar Lover by Harry Crews next. If the Cards win, then I read Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk next.

Currently Reading
Daddy's Boy by Chris Elliott
with rebuttals by Bob Elliott
I got this book for a penny on Amazon.
I've read one other book by this author. That was Shroud of the Thwacker. It was funny, but not nearly as funny as his sitcom, Get a Life, or his many appearances on Late Night w/David Letterman.

Spacetime Donuts
A video review of Spacetime Donuts by Rudy Rucker from AngrySciFiNerd. That was book #9 of '08 for me. Rudy Rucker is my favorite author, BTW. As the reviewer notes, it is a hard to find book. I found my copy at Gardener's Used Books.
