Yesterday I went to the Writers Faire at UCLA with Abby and learned some interesting tips about breaking into film & TV. We also stopped by a novelty store that had amusing T-shirts such as “I’m on the Carne Asada Diet” or “You Looked Better on Myspace” or “I’m the guy you’re going to settle for anyway, so why not go home with me now?” Through a massive application of willpower, I restrained myself from buying any cool toy swords or extraordinarily-realistic Japanese-made firearm replicas. Tonight I went to the inaugural meeting of the Free Culture club at USC, which featured a riveting appearance by Cory Doctorow. (Props to The Slush God for keeping my apprised of that.) It’s great having Cory at USC. He’s even bringing Bruce Sterling to speak in a few weeks.
