Seun Kuti and the Egypt 80 also played. If you don't know who they are, Seun Kuti is the son of legendary Nigerian musician Fela Kuti. So seeing them live while finishing up Lagoon which is set in sci-fi Lagos, Nigeria was pretty fucking magical.
Side note: I'm also doing Books on the Nightstand bingo! It started Memorial Day and it ends Labor Day. I've kind of bullied everybody I know into doing it with me. Here's my card! If you want one, go here and you'll get a randomly generated card! It's a good time, I promise. Show me your cards!
So basically I want to do all of them except presidential biography. |
THIS WEEK I READ:
- Lagoon by Nnedi Okorafor
CURRENTLY READING:
So this tiny weirdness is apparently surreal and poetic, so I think I need it. Light Boxes by Shane Jones is only 175 pages and it's about a small town that's dealing with a perpetual February. And February is like a god? Children are going missing. Shit's going down. And the town is going to fight back against February. After a slow reading week, I need some instant gratification. And its format is kind of experimental, so I'm down.
