the scenario i keep imagining, here, is a writer being stopped and before saying anything, checking to make sure whoever stopped him (him) has read his book.
still the reigning champ, congrats ben
having spent time around variously famous musicians, skateboarders, actors, and other artists, i've learned that there are a whole lot of ways to handle the gradients of fame, and that nobody alive is worse at it than writers.
it's the best part of the whole shebang!
reading one (1) joy williams story a day from here on out
once again i have subverted AWP expectations by hosting a reading 2,267 miles off site and one full week off time. thanks to the ten readers who made for an excellent night and a crowd that was engaged and attentive and wholly present throughout. skateboarding rules.
It's also very much a "2000 books published every tuesday" problem lol
YESS DUDE CONGRATULATIONS!!

some news! you guys can send out your emails to the people who want to read them. you don't need substack.

Ryan's been making these meditative and just extremely lovely videos about skateboarding and life in the desert, life in Eagle Rock, and this new one is really, really that (lovely)

There'll be drinks and photographs and a room full of exceptional people. I hope to see you there...
This will be the fifth of the Anything at All readings, whereby skaters, many of whom do not write and would never consider attending much less giving a literary reading, engage in a literary reading for a room full of skaters. It's the best night of the year and this year's lineup is wonderful.

MD...he's a skater. These are great.
When in an interview long ago I mentioned Michael as a polestar, an inspiration for me, he called me out of the blue (I still have his message saved) & for hours shared stories, wisdom & advice with me. May your memory be a blessing Michael Silverblatt. It already is www.latimes.com/california/s...
