Chicago-landed people: The marvelous Suzanne Scanlon is a finalist for the Guild Complex Prose Award. Be there tomorrow night, 7:30pm, the Chopin Theater, to watch her read from her short story and vote for her!

Southern California-oriented people: I am typing away on my talk for CalArts, which I think at this moment is 3 hours long. I will be somehow trying to execute reading from O Fallen Angel, Green Girl, and Heroines, while being semi-coherent about something. I am there Thursday night. And then also, reading with the magnificent Kate Durbin Saturday at 5pm at Skylight Books. We are reading at an early-bird special time but I am excited. Although this morning I checked the weather in Los Angeles and I was going to wear a wonderful crazy dress in some way to try to come close to the unparalleled fashion performances of Kate, but you know what, it's going to be too fucking cold. One of the two rotating tops I keep on wearing for readings, then.
