We demand more porn!!

Sunday ended up just fine. Stayed at home and raked leaves, made curried tofu (put block of curry stuff in pot, add tofu), and went to BNI Youth. BNI Youth were awesome, and then, from there, Davey was awesome enough to come to the 331 Club with me, to check out the Sunday Night Lit 6 Story Stage (whew!). Things I learned:

a) Alot of the Lit 6 peeps are Hamline grads (interesting!)
b) Experienced writers use themes. And call backs. Yes, it is a LITTLE like improv.
c) Not many people truly wanted to write about porn. Alot of what we heard was "I can't write about porn". Heh. If they weren't as good of writers as they were, this would have been cause for rebellion. However, for the most part, they were all lovely! ...And funny.
d) I don't know what to say after someone does a reading. I tried "Nice job!", but that seemed to go over in a lame albatross sort of fashion. "Good set!"? "I like art!"? Mer.
e) I wish I had read my stuff, just so everyone could say "Whatta hack", and then when I read again, think about how I had improved. This is how it would have been in my mind.
f) Kurt Weil does out best on a slightly out of tune piano.

Brian Beatty was fantabulous. Awesome. Funny. 'Got to chat and dish after the readings too, which was great. :) Much fun. Nice group of people. Good food (Reubens!.. like the producer) and drink. Davey and I drank our $2.50 tall boys and wandered away. Yeaa!! Success!!

Clairol has a little web machine that you have to give your life away to access (but maybe they'll send me free stuff), but it's just like your own realty make-over show, but trashier.

See?!!?

Now, go! Go trash yourself out! Feel mildly disgusted and share it with your friends! Excellent!
