Who's in charge of the "Joni in literature" section these days? They better get right on that! (Why do I have this weird feeling it's you, Lindsay-not-Lindsey?) I just remember it used to be Smurf, but my brain is stuck in 1990-something. At least it's not 1947! sometimes I wonder if Joni really does lack all that technology or if she's secretly googling all over the place. On the other hand, I wouldn't blame her for eschewing technology, since it does seem to suck up a lot of time that could be better spent being creative or some darn thing. From: Lindsay Moon To: Joni List Cc: sue tierney Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2015 2:20 PM Subject: Meghan Daum Sue, I did get that book.B It's a collection of short pieces/essays (oddly similar to the writing style of Ann Patchett, who was recommended by David Sedaris when we saw him).B Daum writes of going to LA and happening upon the Green Flag Song exhibit.B She (like Brian and I when we went there) met the owner, (do I recall correctly his name as Lev?), he was very forthcoming with information, and when Daum said she was a reporter, he offered to ask Joni if he could ask Daum to their dinner that night.B The dinner happened, Joni (unfortunately) came off as a kook with her ideas about the environment, but she gave the author her phone number to discuss moreB Daum is a serious fan, though, and is annoyed as well that people misinterpret many things she's written or says.B (And only I/we would notice the slight mistakesB "Marcie in a coat of flowers *steps* inside a candy store," it's "stops."B Any fathead could write "steps," Joni wrote "stops."B Completely different animal and another notch on her liberation doll genius.B (Hahaha) And "The Wolf That Lives in *Lindsay*" is "Lindsey.") Daum tried several times to reach Joni but never got an answer (Joni having no technology later than 1947 in her homeB hahaha).B And then the writer lost her phone number. I'd kill myself.
