Hodgman was funny about the tornado on twitter:
I know other cities have "tornados". But you really haven't had one til you've had an AUTHENTIC Brooklyn tornado.
Whatever happened to the still beating heart of a virgin? No one has any standards anymore.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
A tornado tore through metro Detroit when I lived there. It was very freaky.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's especially funny because I'm hearing it in Hodgman's voice.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Kick me for self-pity. It's so unbecoming.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I had a tornado pass over my apartment in Philly. Uprooted a tree outside the kitchen on one side, and the bedroom on the other.
Then it destroyed a garden in Narberth that was about to be featured on one of those makeover shows.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Allyson, you kick yourself quite enough. I hope you find a venue you like.
It's way too early for Derby Girl drama. Seriously. At least it's not one of the founders. They all have their shit straight.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hee. Now I want my own authentic Brooklyn tornado. Only I can`t have one because I`m not in Brooklyn. Woe. And also because we don`t really have tornadoes. Funny story: Navajo cultural tidbit: a tornado comes because the women aren`t taking care of their hair properly. We don`t really have tornadoes, but we also don`t really see women not taking care of their hair. So maybe it`s true!
Swim FAIL. Instead I had a massive nosebleed, the first I`ve had in months, as it`s been such a wet monsoon. But alas, monsoon is over. And maybe it`s stress related or something? Anyway, instead of a swim I spent some quality time at the tadpole pond (one fully metamorphosed froggie is working out how to get out of the pond.) and am now having a nice lie down. Back to work shortly.

Someone should really tell that to the ladies of Park Slope.

I've been way too close to six or seven tornadoes, including the one I watched touch down as I was standing by my stalled car waiting for a wrecker. The hair thing could explain a lot.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Allyson, maybe not for the release, but have you thought of maybe contacting any local zoos that have a bat exhibit to maybe do readings on weekend day? We talked to some people, non-zoo people outside the world of darkness building at Bronx Zoo on one visit. They were doing some information demos like every hour or somesuch.
