Literary Twin Cities

It’s going to be quite a week for booknerds in the Twin Cities Metro Area. I’m a little upset that I’m going to miss the Twin Cities Book Fesitval on Saturday. But I have Dokktoberfest with the Westernerds at Supgenius Headquarters. It’s a tough call, giving in to my Westernerd side or my Booknerd side, but then I remembered the Westernerd in me likes to get drunk, so that side won.

On Tuesday anybody who is anybody, and that means most everybody that I know is gonna be at The Loft to hear Dale & the Vodo read. I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited for a reading before. This is the book/writernerd event of the season as far as I’m concerned. Not only do I get to hear Dale & Vodo read (again) but a ton of my friends are going to reading. It will be a total blast and I doubt I’ll be able to sleep tonight because I’ll be so damn excited. The only bummer is that I won’t get to go see my imaginary bofriend Brad Zellar read Twin Cities Noir at Kieran’s that same night.

That stinks. I went to my first ever Vodo reading with you. Do you remember that? He read the story about Bob Stinson as a Zamboni driver?

I am so totally excited as well. It is definitely the writernerd event of the season. I have never heard either of them read before, and of course the reading is only half the fun! Grumpy’s! Grumpy’s! Grumpy’s!!

Things I Want to Tell You

I can't seem to stop listening to The Juliana Hatfield Three album "Become What You Are." I can't decide if it's because I am feeling nostalgic or because it's really fucking good. [+]

Today is Christa's Birthday. I think she just might be my most favorite person I've never met yet. Which is saying a lot. Because I like a lot of people I haven't met yet including but not limited to: Largehearted Boy, UH, Michelle Obama, Mike Doughty, and everyone who ever appeared on Dawson's Creek. [+]

Can't stop listening to "Who Were You Were Thinking Of" by Jeff Tweedy. Sing it with me, "who were you thinking of when we were making love last night? Was it a good-looking stranger or a close friend of mine. . ." [+]

You would think that if they were getting straight As they'd know the damn difference between loose and lose. GAH! [+]
