Last night, I had the super, delicious pleasure of reading at the Happy Ending reading series at Joe’s Pub. There was a dressing room! And I had a free glass of wine! Hoo boy am I easy to please.

Daniel Knox sang some lovely songs.

Then Andrew Autschul read from his novel. His ‘risk’ for the night was playing a CD from his high school band, DWI. Nice one.

Then I read a story about summer camp. My risk was reading a series of letters I wrote to my parents from summer camp in 1991, when I was 11. Spoiler: I wanted them to tape 90210, send me packages, and I didn’t get the part I wanted in the Wizard of Oz.

Jon-Jon Goulian read (for the very first time!) from his memoir. My first reading had fewer scenes with penises, that’s for sure. Brave boy!

No stage bathroom is complete without a photo of Mandy Moore: agree or disagree?

En route to Oberlin as we speak. Pics of tater tots to follow!

Love
