Jane read from her zine Kansas - two pieces: "How I Fucked Up My Lovelife Forever" & "You Have the Right to Fuck." Ohhhhh, it was so good. So damn good. It doesn't matter what I read.

What a treat to read at the Manx! We got a big crowd out. Jennifer kept a poster, and I'm sad that I didn't. I read "I Used to Think You Were Hot, But Now I Know You," which got a big laugh because I mentioned Justin Haynes, and the Manx kids know him. I can't remember what else I read, though Andy was grateful I kept it clean.

Can't remember what I read anymore, but it was nice to do the last reading for my hometown crowd. I think this was one of the first readings I did with Jennifer, and I was really happy to do it.
The Study Lounge was such an odd place. It had its hardcore regulars who hated the writers, and talked loudly over the readings every time one happened there. But they stayed quiet for Wendy, that's for sure.

Wendy and I immediately took a shine to each other. She is a kind sweet funny vibrant person. We didn't play a CD the entire time we travelled together. Too busy talking.
This show rocked, not only because of Wendy, but because after the disaster of Mariko not showing, it was great to perform with Alexis. She did whacky shit, and ended her bit with smashing a cell phone, rather, *trying* to smash a cell phone. Those fuckers are tough.

This one was a bit of a disaster. Mariko got the date wrong, and I didn't have her phone number - lesson learned. There were about 9 people there. It cost $75 to rent the room, too. Lesson learned.
