AWESOME! All you guys reading together? It would be disingenuous of me to miss this reading. But my question for the universe is this: How does it happen that all the cool stuff I want to do is going on in the SAME WEEKEND?

the universe is a mysterious place, though I planned the three of us reading together myself. Fun times! glad to see you'll be there...

That Geoff Herbach sounds very interesting.

I'm not related to that Geoff Herbach, I swear.

Hmmm...I've got to say I'm a bit suspicious about that.

What if I'm not just joking, but prophetic? What if this is a watershed reading for all five of us? A performance that will echo into infinity? They will call us the Hamline Five, and everything we ever write again will be pure gold....

Oh! Can you set up a live feed to Duluth? Kind of like watching Olaf commencement in the Science Lecture Hall? Hmmmm??? It would be cool! I could round up some viewers up Nort.
Easily.

Sadly, a drunken stupor awaits me in St. Louis so I will have to miss the reading. Dangit!
