    Yes, it's lovely that Michael and Cherise got married through this site. Others have gotten divorced through this site. Fictionaut is proving to be a microcosm (spell?) of the real world. Jurgen has started an interesting experiment here.

    It's exciting that so many Fictionauters I've long admired will be in attendance at the KGB Summer Bash. Kudos to Susan for bringing all of us together. Hoping to make it to provide loud and enthusiastic support from the bleachers!

    You can read something from your new book too, Ms. Innis? C'mon, if I do, you have to, too! YAY! This is going to be one helluva party!

    I'm coming. Well, I'll try to come. Coming is hard from Long Island.

    Wait. That don't sound right.

    What's the chance of a Fictionaut newbee getting to read? I reads well and I'm nice. I don't have to go first.

    some of you have asked. Thank you, i so hope to be there.

    Yeah, it is very possible!

    Have a frequent flier and may stay with some great friends, who could miss this? However, there is some family health stuff going on with relatives in Southern Cal, so will have to play this totally by ear...

    I hope everyone has a blast. Stuff's come up at home so I will not be in there in person but definitely present in spirit.

    Someone tape it? Please? Peace...

    Meg it would be wonderful to have you and Doug at the party, after all, we've been friends on this site a long time and meeting in person would help clear the air, which I am so in favor of! Hope to see you both at the event!

    I'll be there, staying at the Larchmont. If anyone else has reservations there, let me know, and we can walk or cab to the KGB together. In fact, if anyone wants to meet for a drink ahead of the gathering, in the neighborhood of the Larchmont (27 W. 11th St.) or KGB, I'm up for it. I was thrilled to find out that Sunday Salon is having their reading at Jimmy's the next evening. Two nights I get to see y'all. So excited.

    Yes, we'll be there, and like Ann pointed out, the next night too, and Michael will be playing at the Sunday Salon... really looking forward to meeting everyone, and seeing again those I have met!

    Since people have written me asking about the OPEN MIC, just want to clarify that each reader gets 3 minutes to read a flash or poem. If there is time left, you can read a second time around. I expect it crowded, and want every voice that wants to be heard, to have the opportunity.

    They rejected my plasma upon attempts to blue light special it and so NYC might as well be the planet Jupiter for me at this point. I can't figure that...I thought I had great plasma. It felt good inside me. Felt strong and worth something at least. Just goes to show you the plasma pawn shop is fickle and can never be trusted. Have fun, good people. Read, listen, find truth in the literature you share and read. There is no other place it can be found, so rare a thing it is.
