At 12:53pm, Miranda July is in danger of being eclipsed by the grilled cheese gluttony on tap at Union Restaurant as a precursor to this weekend's cheese festival. Such is the appeal of gourmet grilled cheese, and I know I'm not the only connoisseur out there.

Does anyone know of a shuttle bus running in between the melted cheese and the Miranda July tonight? I kind of need to do both.

Can we do a moratorium on Mirada July photos. I feel like this woman has been staring at me all week.

@hey

I agree. Creepin' me out, man.

I don't feel like I share the same degree of erection for Miranda July that the rest of Slog-reading Seattle does, but still love happenings, and will of course sneak my own fromage into Neumo's so I can have my cheese and eat it, too.

Sadly, no grilled cheese appeared at the reading & performance last night, although the ubiquitous aroma of curry wafting in from Frites sort of made up for it.

That was a great show - Sarah Rudinoff & Seattle Symphony "wunderkind" Joshua Roman were a great pairing; Becky Stark had hilarious between song banter, very Sarah Vowel-ish in delivery, although I thought her songs were rather "meh". And "Awesome" - what can you say? Effing Brilliant.

Miranda's readings were delightful, just the combination of quirky humor and resonating pathos you'd expect, and Christopher's interview segment, although it seemed like pretty standard author-query fare was still entertaining & insightful. I'm sad she's made the move from PDX to La-La Land, but you gotta go where the work is, I suppose.

I was surprised there was no "How Was It?" crew in attendance, however. Seems like that was a missed opportunity.

Oh, and was that lady in the back below the light board with all the recording gear the "archivist" somebody was complaining about in an earlier Slog? Holy crap, that looked like a freaking stone-knives-and-bearskins kind of setup...

Did she do the "back and forth" with anyone athe the reading? That really would have been the only draw.
