my dinner with Satan

twenty-seven years and one million words

Last night I attended a send-off at Sneaky Dee's for Jonathan Culp (Satan Macnuggit himself). He's heading off on a 3-4 month trek that will take him as far as the Yukon, doing a show of the shorts and activist movies he's involved with.
As always with Jon's crowd, it was heavily peopled with interesting characters. One fellow was heading off to Australia to live with his g/f in Canberra. One of the women turned out to be a movie reviewer for Now magazine. It was fun; we talked about the feature film that Jonathan's just completed. The gang stiffed me and the would-be Aussie for the bill, naturally (artists!).
