last night

[pantryslut]

Last night I learned that, apparently, I am a freak: many, many readers expressed some intimidation at how many people were at the reading. (A Different Light was packed to overflow.) I would have found that comforting -- look, so many people, here to see me (and everyone else)! We must be worth listening to! I am way more intimidated by small audiences (oh, it's hard to read in front of four people, all bright and attentive in the front row), and by people I know in the audience. So you know I'm going to be a wreck tonight ;) Unless you bring all of your friends whom I haven't met yet and pack the house! Yes, that's the solution!
