Very boring news for the vast majority of planet dwellers, but most welcome to me. My piece, originally "Interview with Self," now called "A without Q with/out Self" will appear in the print version of Notre Dame Review in January.

Other boring news: Sunday's reading in Greenwich Village (Gradisca Restaurant, 13th St.) was a wonderful, warm, quality event, with a large and receptive audience. All readers (Lance Olsen, Claire Moed, Justin Taylor ---- & even self here :-) gave compelling performances. And we had a very fine opening & closing, which included readings by Rochelle Ratner and Girija Tropp. The deep orange room, with black and white artworks, was a PERFECT venue for our reading; we expect to organize many other readings there. The restaurant staff were terrific and the food's fantastic. Quite a few of us lingered to eat and drink [more] after the reading.

I'll be reading at the KGB Bar on Thursday as well as Saturday night. Whew! Details are up at MHR.

Oh yeah ---- MHR's two week reading period for Issue 7 began yesterday. Lots of subs are coming in.
