BIG THANK YOUS; FORKLIFT, OHIO REVIEWED IN TARPAULIN SKY, & DARCIE DENNIGAN'S CORINNA A-MAYING THE APOCALYPSE

1. Just back two days ago from the readings in California, and I'm finally enough dug out of the hole of not being here for a week that I can write this post to say thank you to everyone who came out or helped with the readings. Very especially praise and thanks are due to: Russell Dillon, Jason Morris, Chad Sweeney, Gina Myers, Jim Maughn, Clay Banes, and Sara Michas-Martin. The readings were a ball and I'm looking forward to being back on the West Coast again soon--though I will not be returning via the red-eye...

2. There's a new review of Forklift, Ohio #18 by Cara Benson in the ever amazing Tarpaulin Sky. Check it out right here.

3. My review of Darcie Dennigan's Corinna A-Maying the Apocalypse appeared in Coldfront last week. Read it here.

Matt,

The last two times I've flown east on a red-eye the airline showed animated kids's movies during the flight. It was torture. All the kids were wide awake, screaming and laughing for six straight hours.

It was a pleasure to meet you. The nest time you're on the west coast, let me know.

Best,
Jim

Jim,

On my flight they showed The Golden Compass and the kids were nuts, esp. the little girl behind me who kept kicking the back of my seat.

It was great to meet you. Let me know if you're ever out my way.

I'm enjoying Ping Pong immensely. Thanks, too, for that.
