Alex Balk: Defending Spiers

In life, it's always good to have cheerleaders. Even better if you can look up their skirt.

So, completely unrelated to the EGREGIOUS, MALICIOUS AND INACCURATE ITEM POSTED TODAY ON A WEBSITE THAT HASN'T BEEN WORTH READING IN A YEAR, I was thinking about M. Elizabeth Spiers and the forthcoming sale of her novel, which, reliable sources inform me (UNLIKE VARIOUS TROLL-SIZED HARPIES WHO POST INVECTIVE WITHOUT RECOURSE TO FACT, I ACTUALLY DID SOME RESEARCH) should be fairly soon, and I thought that we might all get together to celebrate. Not a huge group, but a decent sized number of people who love Liz and want to congratulate her on her success. Plus, we haven't all been together in a while, so it would be good to see everyone. I've scheduled “drinks” for Thursday, October 20, time and date T.K., but it would be lovely if a bunch of you joined me and SURPRISED her. I know that some of you are closer to her and may want to do something else to celebrate, so do let me know if I'm stepping on any toes, but if you'd like to join in, please let me know. You can forward this to anyone close to Liz that I might have left off, but let's not pass it along to any VICIOUS, SLIME-SLINGING SOCIOPATHS WHO WOULDN'T KNOW FUNNY IF IT WALKED UP TO HER AND HANDED HER A BUSINESS CARD READING "FUNNY." Because, you know, that might be a little awkward.

Hope everyone's well.

Best, etc.,
Alex

Hey dude, can I get one of those cards?
