Awwww!!! I wish I was down there, I'd go with you, so I could mop your brow.
Courtney and I are going on Monday night to see him! I don't think I've ever seen her as excited to do anything in her LIFE. I was gonna come here and send you a PM about it today!
Tonight I'm going to see Marc Acito (it was between him and Jonathon Kozol, who is my public education inspiration and the nation's conscience when it comes to kids) because he's a smart bitchy queen and I must be in his presence. I looooved his book
HOW I PAID FOR COLLEGE:
A Novel of Sex, Theft, Friendship and Musical Theater. www.marcacito.com
So many hilariously uncomfortable situations. Which are the best situations, don't you think? Here's the description of tonight's "reading":
September 30--Portland, OR, Annie Bloom's Books, 7:30PM
"CONFESSIONS OF A SQUARE PEG"
A mixture of cabaret and book reading, Marc will be singing Broadway songs interspersed with readings of hilarious and bawdy stories from his novel. This is the misguided-yet-inspirational tale of how Marc Acito finally became a writer.
Anyway, he's doing it really close to my house, so I've talked a friend into going with me, even though she has no clue who he is.

Jack: Tastes pretty good to me.
