Like Bosozoku Doing Roulette-zuku
Tim’s farewell meal. Four books/scripts sold (AI vs. AI, Parasite. The Knowledge and The Prequel). Two book pitches to punt to Piers (1947 and 1977). Much coincidence. Much amusement. It has been a long time since I have walked into a bar with someone and been asked if we are part of the band.
In the TAZ equivalent of Caritas, the first karaoke song was bizarrely Ashes To Ashes, followed by Stuck In The Middle With You, Paint It Black, and finally You Really Got Me. Not sure what Lorne would have made of our auras, but even if it was for one night only, we were on literary fire, riding the synchronicity spiral like bosozoku doing roulette-zuku.
Now, after something like 60 hours awake, I am ready for a deep sleep.

You know what they say... when a man you've never met before suddenly gives you flowers, that's some sort of wild dimension-jump into a reality where you've known him for years...
What is roulette-zuku?
'Over the years, the gangs became more numerous and more extreme in behaviour. Whilst many bosozoku did little more than pose and develop new subset groups such as the rolling-zuku (who specialise in driving fast on curving mountain roads) and the roulette-zuku (who ride around and around raised circular highways) a darker side began to emerge. By the 1970s, a thriving subculture existed which can only be described as resembling the droogs from Clockwork Orange on motorbikes. Gang warfare became commonplace as did vandalism. It was at this point the bōsōzoku began to interest the yakuza.'
