Books Reading Tonight
posted by on November 3 at 10:29 AM
Dear Seattle,
There are no readings tonight. There are two open mics. We are all obsessed with the election. I bet even the open mics will mostly be about the election. I instead advise that you take sleeping pills or vodka tonight—not both! never both!—and wake up tomorrow so you can be obsessed with the election on a day that will actually provide some closure, unlike the wasted exercise in penultimate-ness that is today.
And, as a side note, you will note that there are various books features on slog that have fallen by the wayside in the last month and a half, like Book Club of the Damned and Lunch Date. Those features will return again as soon as I can stop thinking about the goddamned election, which I estimate to be about Thursday in a best-case scenario world. Thank you for your patience in this matter and thank you for your kind attention.
(Heart,)
Paul Bobby
P.S. The full readings calendar, including the next week or so, is here.
I needs me some readings to keep the politicos at bay!
Check again, Constant.
Geezus, what am *I* going to do with myself after the election? Without a red-and-blue map to examine over coffee every morning and comfort myself with like a warm glass of milk at bedtime ?
I think I had better start writing for the Stranger.
Paul - This just further confirms my suspicion that you [and Golob!] were by far on of the best additions to The Stranger staff in the past few years.
