Thanks gang! It was my pleasure to not only attend this gathering of hooligans, but to read three of my pieces. Sure, I blew out my voice by doing running/screaming belly-flops down the hallway prior to the reading, but hey, sometimes you have to make a sacrifice in the name of relieving stress.
I was quite nervous about reading First Sex Without Condom and am thrilled with the positive response. You don\'t get a chance to read a piece about sex at a place called Erector Square very often. Procrasturbation was a bit dicey, what with the trying to talk over a bunch of drunken schmucks, but I relished the challenge and wasn\'t about to stop. Thanks to everyone who listened and for all the kind comments, both last night and today.
As far as the actual party, well, it was one of the most fun times I had all year. Tremendous food spread, tremendous food fights, great booze selection, and tons of madcap mischief. I mean, we had that entire building all to ourselves with no supervision at all. Clearly, a recipe for laughter and disaster.
Thanks to Justin, Aruny, and Jackie for hosting and to the rest of my peeps for being yo\'selves.
