so today i went to frog hollow books to check out this sign that quotes my _alternative press_ halifax article. ("pleasingly eclectic and a great place to browse", yup, that's what i said :-) and there it was, right out front. "AP, _alternative press_ magazine, cleveland, ohio." i had to chuckle. i went in and picked up an autographed copy of james kelman's _how late it was, how late_ and then i started talking to the sales clerk and the woman who is apparently the manager and/or owner. she said, "how can we thank you for mentioning us?" i said, "well, i'm not here to demand royalties or anything." :-) they asked me if i'm just visiting halifax and i explained that i live here and freelance various journalistic gigs. so then she says, "i had to take exception to one thing, about entitlement books having the coolest staff!" and i said, "well, maybe you can work on that." she says, "i don't know if i want to get a nose ring..." i said, "maybe some tattoos." :-) not likely.
