Day 8: Lincoln, NE UPDATE! Lovely Arc! The Clean Part! The Daily Nebraskan! Sycamore Review! **** Poets! Go to Lincoln, Nebraska! They will laugh at your jokes, buy you beer and make you breakfast in the morning! A wonderful time! Five from Lincoln: 1) We parked the bus out behind the old steel works, under an overpass, and for an instant I wondered if I was going to meet an ugly end while searching for my toothbrush by cellphone light. 2) I didn&;t. I made it back to the hotel (we had a softie moment for Joshua, Matthew, Blake, Bill and I) just in time to doze for an hour only to be woken up by a woman down the hall screaming, “I can’t do it anymore! My vagina!” 3) Seriously. 4) But I won’t let that color the whole experience, and neither should you. 5) Here’s a glimpse into what has been our best reading yet, due in no small part to the absolutely perfect audience (Listen to them!).

I heart the vagina story.

I was at last night&;s reading and it was incredible. I&;m glad to hear that it seemed as amazing from the perspective of those who were on-stage. I wrote up a long play by play on my blog, so if anyone else cares to dutifully over-analyze the evening then I offer them this headstart: http://bouvard.wordpress.com/

I live in Boston, MA. If you cruise through, you by default have a place to stay and if you have a slot, I would love to read. moderator of ArcanumCafe.com OD and frequent submitter to D*O*S Either way&;.rock on with your socks on! Lewis (your whole adventure is envious and adulterous and amazing!)
