1. Ah! I actually know where one of these are. I’ll try to make it if I don’t get to nervous. I’ll try very, very hard. I want to go to a reading so much. Okay, this is my big November goal. Go to Captain Awkwards reading. Super big goal: Say “Hello, your blog has been so helpful to me.”

   Wish me luck!

   1. I wish us both luck! These are very chill events. The South Side one is just a room with a lot of chairs and a mic and a little stage and you come and sit in the chairs and you can talk to people if you want and keep to yourself if you want. You don’t have to spend any money on anything, it’s not a bar, it’s just an event space. The North Side one is in a bar, so there is food & drink and tables, but if you come you can sit at my table and eat/drink/not eat/not drink with me. xxoo

      1. Oh, gosh! This is in two days! But I know I’m free that day, so I hope to see you there. Best of luck on your reading!

2. …what. One of these is literally a block away from where I live. :D:D:D

   1. Yay, it would be lovely to see you if you can join.

3. I just read Sam’s The Rumpus piece at work, and that was a terrible idea because now I’m desperately trying not to cry. Beautiful and heartbreaking.

   1. Her blog is funny & self-deprecating (and there’s a lot of that stuff in the book, though more structured in essay form) but she brings the serious & introspective, too.

      1. I love everything about bitches gotta eat.

         1. She is as cool in person as you’d imagine.

4. I read the second theme as “cod” for a minute, and I was totally into it.

   1. My “cold” story involves time in New England, I’m sure I could work it in somewhere. 🙂
