A slight change in plans, through no fault of my own: I’m going to be at the January Writers With Drinks instead of the December one, where I’ll be reading literary fiction penned by…well, me. Or is it raunchy comedy laced with esoteric references? Or is it experimental poetry? One thing I can guarantee is a high-octane performance by yours truly, reading outside his traditional genre, with an element of absolutely essential audience participation. I may even be wearing a funny hat.

But there are far more compelling reasons to attend than me: Michelle Tea! Kim Stanley Robinson! Andrew Sean Greer! Michael Blumlein! Justin Chin! A cast of thousands!

It’s at The Rickshaw Stop, 155 Fell Street, January 20, 2007, 6:30 PM.

Be there. You won’t want to miss it! Only $5 to $7 and for a grand cause: The Other Magazine!
