Didn't mean to set that up as an algebra problem, but I guess I did. Pia also did a reading in Chicago, earlier this week! Sadly, I could not go. Very very sadly. But it sounds like it was terrific. The Kesey-Ehrhardt reading in NO is coming right up! Pasha drove in to Chicago from Ann Arbor with his lovely friend Nicole plus Aaron Burch (minus Elizabeth Ellen, who stayed home.)

That's some article. And yes, Amy Hempel is amazing, but I love Gail more. P.S.

But I may send them to you!</p> P.S. everyone - You know how much I love Brad Listi's Nervous Breakdown, don't you?

I'm thrilled you had such fun. It was a great pleasure meeting you, watching you feast on boiled fetuses and hearing all your talk about nipple rings (yup - she's leaving the best parts out, people). Please come back often. We are sorely in need of wax strippers. And Severus Snape heard you can teach people to smile. xx, Amanda Sue Henderson! I’m thrilled you had such fun.
