Dear San Diego

[Hyphnip]

Am I the only one who has been enjoying Matt's "Dear San Diego" posts? I'd totally buy a book if he ever turned them into one. I hope he keeps posting them.

[Monochrome Rainbow]

No, I think they kick ass. I really dig that style of writing; checking back every day to see if he's posted a new one.

[soundless_space]

They're very interesting. I definitely enjoy reading them.

[AnOceanPearl]

I was really sad when he stopped doing them, and I'm uberglad they're back.

[Shiri]

Yeah, I'm enjoying them. Great stuff.

The last time he was doing the dear San Diego thing, I was visiting my friend in San Diego. True story.

I haven't visted the site in awhile and then I went today and there they were. I didn't read them though... not yet.

[Shiri]

Yeah should, it's quite entertaining.

[Crusader]

I think this is the kinda thing he was talking about with his new book idea.

 

I wonder where he's getting his ideas, pretty creative but really out there at the same time.

Something tells me a lot of it is semi-autobiographical.

[WhatamNot]

They're good but I'd like to see new stuff.

He mentioned in the radio premiere for White Light Rock & Roll Review that he initially planned to write another book but instead wrote a screenplay. I wonder whether the "Dear San Diego" material may be somehow tied to that concept (because I remain thoroughly interested in what an MG screenplay/film would be like!).

[jeef47]

I agree he should do a book. ;)

I missed it the first time around so to me, this IS new stuff!

I was re-adding the manifestos to the site when I came accross this: http://www.nearfantastica.com/manifestos/read13.html

 

Go towards the bottom and read the part about the #1 most asked question. San Diego kinda popped out at me.

[i miss new wave]

i'm pretty sure he did do a book - "at last theres nothing left to say"

[MuttersomeTaxicab]

Yeah, that was a collection of the manifestos. Dear San Diego wasn't in it. I'm just reading the Dear San Diego stuff for the first time now, so I'm not sure how much there is... But if there's a shit-ton of it, I'd be excited if he expanded and published it.

[Shiri]

Same here.

[Crusader]

he's coming up with a new book. i really really need to post the short video interview eh

[hum-an-ole]

Yes do it.

[Shiri]

Anton, are you hiding information from us? ;)

[i miss new wave]

he did write a book, damnit!!!!

[AnOceanPearl]

he did write a book, damnit!!!!

Yah, we know.

 

I do remember him posting in a blog entry a couple years back that he wanted to write another book, and that he had no idea what he would write and it would probably end up about baseball playing animals, or something.
