Have a safe trip forth and back, Garrett. All the best.

Looking forward to the reading. Hopefully you ll attend it with a bunch of Oregonian roses in your hands. :)

(Ask NE to get you some!)

Thank you and everyone else for all your kind wishes. I hope to see some of the cool people I know in Oregon while I'm there and my week and a half stay will most likely allow that. I'm scared to death about this reading, as much of my book does not read out loud well (as is the way with experimental fiction much of the time) and I'm also participating in a Bizarro contest in which writers outweird each other for prizes. Should be a great experience,
