Katie’s Reading was amazing.  She really blew it away…her stuff is so funny and dark.  Not to mention, she looked hot.  I mean, way too hot to be a writer to tell you the truth!  Anyway, I was really proud…and the best part of the whole thing was getting to see her and Chuck in NYC, ‘cause I miss them very, very much.

Also cool…we were late, and this dude was standing outside the Happy Endings Lounge where they do the reading series (which, by the way, is marked with a Chinese restaurant sign – totally confusing)…we started to talk to him, and I realized it was Arthur Nersesian, who wrote The Fuck Up, which is a great book.  He was in the process of editing his new novel down for the reading (using a pencil, so cute). He was down-to-earth and cool, and even gave me a shout-out before he read, which was, of course, completely thrilling to me.

yeah, I'm that big a dork...I asked for a fan pic. what can I say? writers are rockstars to me.

Then there was a surreal moment when we took a picture – Katie, Arthur and me in the middle – and I thought, wow, I’m here with two writers I admire.  Then Katie said, “Now we got a picture of three writers!” and I realized, whoa, I guess they consider me a WRITER too.

Freaky.
