It's never going to happen but it's nice to dream

eh, if a Party Down re-boot can happen a decade after the fact, it's not so insane to think a Lodge 49 one could happen someday, too.

There was a zoom event last night featuring Charles Yu (L49 staff writer for s1, sole writer for s1e6 which is imho the best L49 episode) for the SF Book Festival, and just so happened to be hosted by Jim Gavin. It ran about 1 hour and focused on Charles' work in the speculative fiction realm, his awards and accolades including winning a major award (National Book Award - Fiction) mid-pandemic for Interior Chinatown, violence/malevolence towards Asians/Asian-Americans, coming from an unusual background (pre-med/law school/model-minority), Asian-Americans underrepresentation in the arts, but mostly Charles' process of writing and honing his craft.
These guys are obviously good friends so it was often silly and light-hearted compared to a stuffy reading of Charles' resumé and bibliography which in someone else's hands the event could have been.
Yet even though the spotlight was on Charles, he gave Jim and Lodge 49 deep, heartfelt compliments at every opportunity (seriously, maybe 20-25% of the talk was Lodge 49-adjacent, just on Charles' behalf!).
I'll check to see if it gets posted on the 'tube.

(Also I had no idea that Charles was Kelvin Yu's brother!)

It pains me that I can't find S2 anywhere - it's just not available in the UK, even to purchase. I'm too out of practice to know where 'else' to look and the few places I've checked aren't giving me anything. ARGH.

Was the same. Argh!I found a t0rr3nce of it (still not watched though!) so feel free to contact me via user name

This reminds me — I still need to reply to your lovely email from last year! I can also send a link to a w3transfer if that works.

Hey Chinaski - would a VPN that shows you as being in the US work? I think Hulu here has both seasons.

I've fiddled with a VPN before and couldn't get my head around it (I think I've finally ascended to the cloudy realm of learned helplessness). Which is to say, Chuck_Tatum, I would absolutely welcome seeds/We Transfer files!

Admittedly I'm slightly under the influence (Dextromethorphan HBr 30 mg) but "Souvlaki Space Station" came on shuffle and I'm hearing a dubbier version of the Lodge 49 theme in certain (quieter?) parts... anyone hearing that?
