<\/p>\nMy wife and I have been on a road trip out to Wyoming and back. I\u2019ll post some of my pictures over the next week or two. <\/p>\n
But first I have a short announcement. On Saturday July 21, I\u2019ll be reading a brand new transreal short-short story called, \u201cI Arise Again\u201d\u009d. It\u2019ll take about ten minutes and will be, in a sense, a performance piece relating to my recent difficulties in getting published. The story\u2019s about a beatnik SF writer who finds a new way of distributing his work\u2026<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My appearance is part of the Clarion West Fundraiser Reading at Borderlands Books on Saturday, July 21st at 5:00 pm. I\u2019ll be reading with authors Cassie Alexander, An Owomoyela, Tim Pratt, Rachel Swirsky, and Ysabeau S. Wilce. Details on the Borderlands Events <\/a>page.<\/p>\n The event will be in the cafe section of Borderlands, and should be fun. <\/p>\n [Added July 22, 2012] The reading was fun, and some of us went out for dinner at Frijtz on Valencia St. I always enjoy being with a group of writers\u2014the wit, the gossip, the tips, the solidarity.<\/p>\n I made a tape of me reading my story—which was so transreal (it’s a story about me giving a talk) that I felt a little weird. But it seemed like I was getting over. I may post a podcast, but first I\u2019m going to try and sell the thing somewhere and make sure there’s no conflict.<\/p>\n Tim Pratt read a great love poem called \u201cScientific Romance<\/a>,\u201d\u009d also a nice story called \u201cGingerbread<\/a>.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My wife and I have been on a road trip out to Wyoming and back.
