Okay so I suck at a poem a day and I’ve turned in my poet badge and my secret de-coder ring. I know I can’t be in the club so I’m starting my own with a top-secret handshake and you don’t have to write anything unless you want to. Swing to your own drum. Play with sticks.

On Friday I went to see the wonderful Lee Ann Roripaugh read and then we went out for dumplings and Saturday we went out for sushi. It was a high holiday weekend. And this weekend looks to be more of the same. Ms. Fannie Howe is coming to my town, along with Mary Jo Bang & Mathea Harvey, they will be at the Loft this Friday in Minneapolis at 7 p.m.

I will be the girl in the audience drinking beer, because at the last reading I found out that if you go to the coffee shop and bitch the manger brings you out one from the "back room". I will also be the girl, next to the girl who is trying to sneak my beer because she never, ever buys her own!

Side note: at my feet right now ----- a purple mermaid, a monkey, pink bunny ears and a panda. The cats are fornicating again with Bella’s stuffed animals and it is oh so very wrong!!!

I want to be the secretary of your club. Then I can write about secrets.

I will be the girl next to the girl with the beer and the sipping beer girl and I don't think I'll drink beer because I always want a second and a third and I can't be my own designated driver. :)

OMG, that was fun hanging out with you and the sipping beer girl! Now I am longing to come back to see all the girls with beers and sips and non-sips. XOXO!

dearest, I think our evil genius cats should hang out together:)

and Molly, I will see you tomorrow even if you are not drinking beer.

Lee--yes, yes and yes. Please come back. I even know MORE good places to eat.

OK, this is how knee-jerk stupid I am: I thought I was being made fun of up there until I realized Lee really *did* come to the Twin Cities.

Get better, T. I want to see you tonight. :)

Hey Molly, it was great to see you at the reading last night, wasn't it wonderful?

Molly said...

It was so good, T. Ryan and I agreed we loved Matthea the most--she was so charming and humble and clever and kind. I saw you chatting with her afterwards. :) I need to be less shy, I think. So, when are we going to bump into each other again?

She was wonderful. You should came out with us afterwards. Are you planning on going to Clifton?
