Lined Up for a Reading
Posted by RNz under Readings/Signings

A good crowd last night. Not quite a fire hazard, but still every seat was taken. I read works from The Lineup series last night at KGB Bar, 85 East 4th Street, New York City. Other readers included contributors Jennifer L. Knox, Carol Novack, and Karen Petersen as well as two of my fellow Lineup editors Anthony Rainone and Gerald So. We sold a few copies. I also stripped and showed off The Lineup t-shirt I was wearing. I was told by several audience members that there was no need to take off my pants to show off a t-shirt, but you get into the spirit of things and . . . . Well, I even sold a copy of my chapbook “Childhood’s Smell.”
Thanks to all who attended! And thanks to Jim, for the drink!
