Murphy’s law strikes again. He can’t keep getting away with it, the bastard.

It was so much fun to read on Monday! What a great bunch of writers/storytellers. Was happy to be part of a great group in NYC. Looking forward to hearing and seeing the videos! Thanks Randy and Chuck!

Well congratulations to everyone that was able to read. It's unfortunate that the Portland crew had some audio difficulties. I can't wait to see the New York Gang's work.

I'm looking into open mics in Seattle. Hugo House and several bars have 5 min time limits so I have been writing some flash fiction. If they pan out I could talk to the bar owners about hosting a Seattle chapter of story night. I will let you know how it goes.

Mom just got the package. A wonderful vintage puzzle of the US states. And colorful balls too! She says thank you. And I hope you aren't spending too much of your money on them. Also, I've been saving all the brown UPS boxes. Those are MY gifts lol

Hey Chuck, my upcoming dissertation is on unreliable post-modern narrators and I was wondering if there were any books -- both fiction and non-fiction -- that you think would be good to check out. Thanks!

P.S. Does the remix edition of ‘Invisble Monsters’ add in any major way to the unreliability of the text? To my shame, it’s the only book of yours I don’t own/have read. Please don’t excommunicate me for this sin.

Is there any way I could still get a link to the visuals? I will mute the audio and pretend I’m hearing Colton tell me how crushed pine cones splinter and turn into glass, and Greg talking about the “pink flag” (said with a speech impediment) - 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Hat’s off to the person who draws the short straw and dubs the whole thing with subtitles. Unlucky, I guess.

I knew I broke the camera! But why oh why not the New York one? Oh well. I'm pretty proud of myself but my heart does go out to those whose recordings were lost.....

I can still hear Krissy’s #PumpkinSpice foam being created by the pin pricks in her victims body foaming with hydrogen peroxide. I would love just the video so I can remember all of it!! And Tony’s dead foot with the toe ring!!
