I thought all the readers were great. Perry Brass very poetic, and he even passed out cupcakes. RKB herself with a very hot sub/dom/lesbo piece. Two smart, sexy readings from the collection Juicy Mangoes. And more.
But John Blesso chewed up the stage and spit it out with a very funny, erotic and poignant story about attraction to an older woman. John is young enough to be my...nephew. So I think his older woman is, oh, about my age.
Said story not related to his screamingly funny book, Sharehouse Confidential.
I bought it on the spot and my sides were splitting from laughter by the end of my subway ride back uptown.
Events like this one reason I wish I could be in New York more often.
Al - Why is there no link to "Got laid before breakfast"? THATS the post I want to read! ;)
ReplyDeleteNice try, G. But sex, like food, can be quite pleasing but is not always worth writing about in detail. Katz's pastrami, on the other hand...
ReplyDeleteAt least I had them at separate ends of the day, so I didn't pull a Costanza.
So glad you enjoyed In The Flesh, and yes, John was hilarious. I especially like the profile photo of you reading John's book!
ReplyDeleteI can remember the last great sex I had (yesterday) but sadly I can't remember the last great pastrami sandwich. I think it was Mort's Deli on Wabash (closed) Avenue Chicago around 1995.
ReplyDeletewhat a perfect, flawless day and night. I am buying the book. if you loved it. I will love it. I am a book buying machine these days.
