show

tonight was good. i read well. at least that's what the reports tell me.  i had a good time. it was the awesome meeting people and talking and shooting the shit. here is the photographic evidence. (as always) following are the performers Joan Riedl, Elliot Harmon (organizer / host / event guru), Norman Cristofoli and Ptraick Duggan. No photos of me at this reading exist to my knowledge. Yay to Modern TImes for hosting (see LUST for knowledge image)

and big yays to margaret (who doesn't read LJ) and to final_girl for the big smiles and good energy beforehand to jinx me with the luck.

The Part of You That No One Sees

You are wise, insightful, and brilliant. Your wit is sharp and occasionally hurtful... Revealing your scorn for people with less intelligence. Underneath it all, you feel burdened by the stupidity of humanity. You know what's right in the world, but it's overshadowed by everything that's wrong. People see you as arrogant. While this is partially true, you are also very sensitive.

What's the Part of You That No One Sees?

i got some lilacs!
