A strange, sad note. The ghostwriter for "Three Cups of Tea" jumped from those cliffs once the book was revealed to be a hoax. His body lay on the talus slope below for three months before it was discovered.

I started a crowdfund to get you a proper camera.

I don't know why but when I read the post subtitle I suddenly thought of Robin Williams in "Deconstructing Harry" being out of focus.

God, I miss Robin.

I reckon I should have waved when I was up at Vista House - but I hadn't the foggiest. 😆

Not to cause panic but that orange glow on the cliff face looks eerily like the affect a flaming meteor has on the area it’s about to crash into.

Good luck tonight to all who will be presenting work! Hope everyone -- presenting work or otherwise -- has a great time at the venue.

By the way, if anyone is feeling like shooting a wee video tonight, capturing the moment, the room vibe, all those gasps and giggles, so you know, I'll be forever grateful if you can share it at some point.

May that hat spew your name.

May your words slap the audience on the cheek.

Make it memorable. Make it count.

Wonderful view. Not a bad picture either, they don't always have to be clean-perfect.

It does look like a painting! (With a bit of a real tree infront of it). Wow, so beautiful.

Good luck with hindsight tonight.

Best wishes to everyone tonight!!! My hopes are that some people faint—- maybe, some vomit—- and some hot lovemaking by the dumpster out back. Get wild! Make it count!!

Even out of focus, that's a remarkable view. I love shit like that. The world has much to offer. Sappy assholes like me stop to enjoy it.

I really wish I was close enough to do an in-person reading. Even if I was, I couldn't. My asthma's so bad it sounds like I'm in pain when I read aloud. I'd need a proxy.
