Thanks for the reminder -- the web site was incommunicado when I tried a couple weeks ago and I filed it away for later action... and then forgot about it. This has now been fixed. :-)
Unfortunately, no. I was going to get a CD of theirs for Willie for Christmas, but I bought other stuff instead. A friend in college had it and played mp3s of them in the lab, which rocked.
Are peeps capable of going bad, or are they like Twinkies in that respect? (I believe the oldest documented Twinkie was something like 65 years -- with no apparent change in its form.)
Crochet a doily. (Well, it would take me that long. :)
The funny thing is that my grandmother taught me to crochet when I was about five, and I spent years making doilies and pillow covers and other stuff like that (and started an afghan, of course... wonder what happened to it). But I have now completely forgotten how to do this. Hmm.
1. Singing in the Rain - a classic, and one of my favorites. A bit sexist, but unfortunately that comes with the times. 2. Riverworld, and its sequels, by Philip Jose Farmer. Has some interesting stuff about religion and spirituality. 3. Afro-Celt Soundsystem 4. 5. AlterNet (http://www.alternet.org/), a good alternative news source 6. Give away every piece of clothing that you don't love.
These suggestions say more about me than you, of course - one gets an odd sense of people from knowing them more through LJ than in person, and I find that my sense of you doesn't yet let me tailor my suggestions to you very well.

1. The Iron Giant - one of my favorite "kids" movie - it's really a shame it wasn't better promoted 2. Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman 3. A Song of David by La Rondinella 4. ?? 5. Jewish World Review 6.

Good stuff, yes! I heard them for the first time at Worldcon.
Plan a trip to a Boston con so I can meet you in the flesh. :)
In the next two months? That would be Arisia or Boskone, I presume. Actually, I've been to both of those cons in the past and enjoyed them, but Boston is a long haul and in order to drive I have to take a day off from work, and those are a bit scarce in years when all the holidays fall on weekdays like they did this fall. And a drive to a Boston con in the winter is even more of a challenge. (Not because of the snow -- because of the early sunset in the winter.) So, sadly, this probably won't happen, though I hope we can meet at a con someday! (My next con is probably Galacticon, in Tennessee in March. I usually don't go that far, but they dangled this "GoH" offer in front of us... go on, stroke my ego! :-) )
