Hey Russ,
I am no longer working on Questionland- but I will pass this along.

Cheers,

You me a solid.

I can burp on command. I'm always ready.

Do you want to have coffee with him? If he were just a friend? Then say yes, and navigate from there. At the coffee, you drop some hints that make it clear that you're not interested in him romantically - bring up someone you have a crush on for instance. That will chill the air, but quick.

Another strategy could be to say "Yes, I'd love to- and let's have Lucy along too!" - Someone else you work with, that makes it clear you're not psyched to go out alone with him, but like the idea of being pals.

If you just don't want to have coffee with him at all, then say, "No thanks," politely, but firmly.

We haven't yet chosen the next book, but we'll probably talk about it tomorrow.
Even if you haven't read Goon Squad you should come. There will be chatter about other things.

My vote is for non-fiction next. I'm reading "The World Without Us" right now, and it's blowing my tiny mind.

I'm not sure if they've sold out yet, but KEXP is having their big Father's Day dance party.

It's at Nectar, and I do believe that Mighty DJ Riz is spinning.

I like sitting with people I don't know, but I wouldn't sign up for a service like this.

Over at Salumi, there's so little space that you inevitably end up sitting with people you don't know, and it's always fun.

I don't know why, but there's something about it being an "intentional experience" that seems unpleasant to me. But suddenly finding yourself eating with a stranger is kind of cool.

PFI has it in bulk as well.
