      I feel my local equivalent is Powell's in Portland. Only sucks that people would linger for the cafe versus the books. I once spent like 8 hours there. My legs hurt because I never got a chance to sit.

    I met Neil and Amanda years ago. Neil used to live around Boston, and I met him at a book signing....in a church! Do you get the joke? Anyway, he was very humble, gratious, and polite. Amanda was there, and she said hi to me. That's about it. But a friend of a friend ran into them downtown...and they invited her to go to a club with them! "How was it?" "Great. Amanda was all over the dance floor." "and how does Neil dance?" "Like an awkward englishman."

    I could just hang out listening to the music and reading their recommendations.
    I had no break up at 16. I just listened to the music dreaming of the day that I might even have those feelings. Over 16 years later, I was better off moping about not knowing than moping about knowing.
