Yeah, that was pretty much a disaster (although it sounded like you guys had fun with Ben and Steve. Who are pretty fun under any circumstances). And I barely saw anyone at my Berkeley reading because we blew a tire in Central California, and were massively late.
Oh, we really did, and I wouldn't call it a disaster at all. We got to spend time with you, and meet new people, and it was fun.
Except for the part where we got to see you, right?
Oh, the disaster was Lee and Aimee not being able to get into my reading in Venice (the one with Viggo Mortenson and Saul Williams and, uhm, me. Guess who was the low man on that bill?) I put them in the capable hands of two friends who also couldn't get in -- I heard there was a bar with hookahs involved -- and then connected later.
Seeing you and JZ and everyone in SF was wonderful, but I wanted to spend more time. Stupid tire. I think next time I'm going to try to spend like three days, at least.

That's good. The whole thing was SO insane, you pretty much had to laugh.
(Saul Williams' groupies stole liquor from the Green Room, so I felt mildly, pettily vindicated. And Viggo gave up his seat so one more person could get in. The whole thing was nuts.)

Obviously I chose well when I went to another reading on that visit. Twas fun.

Oh yes. That was a good time! (And again, Steve and Ben were involved. They should really hang out here.) Alas, I just missed you on my last trip to SoCal. Might need to do Seattle/Portland/Vancouver next tour (I mean, I did meet my wife in your new city, after all.)
The Pacific Northwest is lovely, you should definitely come back here. I adored hearing you and thessaly reading.

Man. He IS ViggoSue.
PNW, Victor. We have to meet in person, drat it.

The two of you really do need to meet. Peas in a pod, my friends, peas in a pod.

I find it remarkable that we haven't, Plei and I have been four-on-the-floor in synch since first "meeting" online.
