So spend the morning in Olympia watching the senate vote on my personal life, and get back to Seattle in time for the reading party. Sounds like a plan, but I'm still trying to find someone going to Olympia I can ride with.

I'm a big fan of the reading party - but have we ever gotten an explanation on why there are special guests? The guests themselves are worthy people, but promoting a reading party with local "celebs" just seems kinda douchey, like having a Kardashian drop by your bar to make sure people know it's the place to be (although now it sounds like promoters are paying Kardashians to stay away, hmmm).

Does this happen every Wednesday in February?

photoshopped picture, please! let's cram a whole bunch of random stuff in, and then play where's waldo!

@2 Just cuz it's funny to have a special guest come and do nothing and cuz it's fun to see what people whose work you admire read on their off-time.
