I'll probably talk about it a bit on the podcast and I'll have some photos posted on Flickr at some point as well. Rick: The trip was great.

I was just saying I had read part of his book "Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs". I wasn't criticizing his writing. I actually like Klosterman, although I'll admit sometimes he gets a little too smarmy for his own good. I think you misunderstood me.

Not every book needs to be War & Peace, CK is an awesome, insanely entertaining writer to read. Is it silly to analyze hair metal and Saved By The Bell to the degree he does? Sure. But I love it and it speaks to me in a very personal way. Like late night dorm room conversations cum arguments. You may think his topics are trivial and puff, but his methods are not. A modern day Hunter Thompson in my opinion, another writer not respected in his time. I think the main hurdle of the small production will be getting the music licenses for all the songs. “Puffs thus far”– Gotta take issue with that Sean.

And yes it was Japan. Jackson: I didn't realize this book was essays as well, I thought there was more of a narrative to it. I've only read his fourth book and part of Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs thus far, but I do own this one as well so I should probably read it soon. Rick: I am definitely back. And yes it was Japan.

If it's done well it could be amazing if it's done badly it could follow the trend of something like I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell and be a total mess.
