tonight geenz and i took a field trip (via public transportation) all the way down to mtn. view to hear heather armstrong, blogger of the popular dooce.com, do a reading from her new book... it sucked and then i cried.i am happy to report that the author is just as witty, random, and funny in person as she is when she writes.
what took me by surprise and frightened me a little is the blog community that follows her. i like heather & think she is a make my belly hurt from laughing kind of writer but i do not classify myself (or gina) as part of the "fan club".
i mean, i love the support & enthusiasm they showed... and one can only wish that they could support a family from the revenue her blog and book have made, but some of these people were W-E-I-R-D. like spend too many hours online, intertwining themselves within interactive communities rather than branching out into the real world kind of weird.
but again, more kudos to heather and her band of weirdos because it was that fan club who just helped her book reach the NYTime's Bestsellers list...nice work.
