Oh yeah, Oakland

Thanks to everyone who came out to Oakland last night! I saw some people I haven’t seen in like, oh maybe TEN YEARS, including some high school friends and old Berkeley housemates. Sarah Baig who is now Sarah Stevenson because she married some guy whose last name I presume is Stevenson, funny how that works, gave me some pictures from when we were in college. Holy crap. I’m going to BURN THESE RIGHT NOW before they get into the hands of some evildoers. If anyone’s doing evil, I rather it be me, thanks. Anyway she has green (blue?) hair and I have purple hair. Look how edgy we are! So alternative! Look at me! Look at how special I am! I made bad choices with my hair! Heather, a college roommate, had an architect license exam the next day and she still made it out because she is so hardcore and in addition awesome. And tall.

Tonight I’m reading at Cody’s in San Francisco. FYI: Cody’s is closing its doors next week. Reading in a store that’s about to go under belongs in the “Wow that sucks” department. Other things from the “Wow that sucks” department: my mother called me at 7:51 am this morning and wondered why I was still sleeping. And something from the “Wow that sucks or maybe it’s awesome” department: Hall and Oates. Jared just put on every Hall and Oates song back to back. How do I feel about this? Conflicted. Very conflicted.

    Apparently you rock so hard that you leave a trail of destruction in your tiny but powerful wake- The Astor Place Barnes & Noble where you did your reading last week is also closing!
