RIP, Robert Asprin – Boing Boing I used to really love Robert Asprin’s Myth Adventures books. I haven’t read them in — God, probably sixteen years or more — but they were some of my favorite humorous fantasy novels when I was a kid. His other books were pretty awesome, too. Sigh.

Dead Wasps
Last night at the Beauty Bar, I got a chance to check out Manchester electro band Dead Wasps — and I wasn’t disappointed. They’re a really excellent dance band, and lead singer Hayley is totally rocking the Goldfrapp thing. (I talked to ’em about doing a remix, too…hopefully that will pan out!) They’re touring the […]
