#89 Beecher's, Tex, Austin, Glaser

Thanks again to Amelia Gray and Lesley Clayton for a fantastic night in Austin.  The Five Things reading was really great, and I was very happy to be a part of it. 

Dear Reader, if you're in Austin, going to Austin, considering Austin in some other way, be sure to catch one of their future shows. 

In other news, a series of mine was published in the very first issue of Beecher's Magazine.  There's all kinds of greatness in there: 

Joshua Cohen, Yelena Akhtiorskaya, Me!, Alexis Orgera, John Dermot Woods, Dana Ward, Elliott Stevens, Creed J Shepard, Lincoln Michel, James Yeh, Adam Robinson, and much more!

My piece is called: Playing With Myself: A Series, and at one point in it, someone fucks a firetruck.

Good News!!!

Rachel B Glaser will still be reading at Tex on Saturday, along with Amelia Gray.  

We're bummed American Airlines wasn't more helpful in getting Rachel settled on a new flight, but we're happy to have her via Skype!  We'll have projectors, fog machines, crazy lighting, Wizard of Oz style!

If you haven't already, be sure to check out her book Pee On Water.  I bought it last December and have read it several times since then.  Really inventive and engaging writing.  Here's a new review at Chamber Four.

Also, pick up some of Amelia Gray's books: AM/PM and Museum of the Weird
