So I was shuffling through the Lollapalooza 2008 website and I just wanted to point out that eight of the bands I put on my The Best Writing Music of 2007 and The Best Writing Music of 2006 compilations are in that line-up.
If you haven't listened to my music lists before, every year I make a compilation CD for my friends and family, collecting the songs that inspired me to write the previous year.
The Lollapalooza coincidence can mean a few different things (or some strange combination of a few things). First of all, it could mean that I have mainstream taste. Or, it could mean that I have great taste. Most importantly, it could mean that this is the best Lollapalooza for writers in years. If you can hack the pricetag on a freelancers' salary, that is. Check it out here at this somewhat chaotically designed website.
Thanks to The Colors Blend for the poster from the Lollapalooza that my parents wouldn't let me go to in high school.

Here's the beginning of a blog post I started last September:
Today, while getting a filling replaced, I had two story ideas. One idea is a dramatic science-fiction comedy in which the main character is dentist to the aliens. This is a night-time secret job, of course. The other idea is an "ER" styled drama that takes place in a hospital in the Middle Ages. Of course, it could also easily be a comedy a la M*A*S*H.
If either idea catches your fancy, please feel free to use it. Just be sure to write a "thank you" to me in the acknowledgements page of your novel!

This interpreter I once worked with had this FABULOUS story idea, which I don't *think* has been taken yet, and I'm still WAITING for him to write it and get it published. I would never steal the idea, of course, but dude it was good (it was reversing The Three Billy Goats Gruff and having the small one be the one who kicks the troll's ass. Has it already been done before? I dunno, but I love it. Come on, JAMES HARRISON, who is likely not reading, and write it already!).
:)
Jules-- I like that interpretation. I've not yet read it, so it's time to give that interpreter a nudge.
I'm pretty sure "dentist to aliens" has been done by a reasonably well-known sci-fi author, although I'm forgetting exactly who.
Yep, sorry it was Piers Anthony. The books was Prostho Plus (or something.) I think I enjoyed it at the time.
Well! I certainly hope Piers Anthony remembered to thank me in his acknowlegements. Who's to say he didn't time travel to the future, read my blog, and then scurry home to write his novel?
I'm sure that's exactly what happened. But don't worry, it's still a good idea. You could easily take a different spin on it, make it like Men In Black only they clean teeth instead of secret investigations.
Piers Anthony once wrote me an extremely long letter. Really. It was about being vegetarian and not killing plants. It was cool.
