Day 47: Los Angeles
UPDATE!
*****
At 3pm, when our reading at the Natural History Museum in LA had been scheduled to begin, the auditorium was empty.
Juliana Spahr poked her head in despite my protestations and after seeing the pristine, untouched expanse of seating, she turned to me with her eyes gleaming.
“This has always been a fantasy of mine,” she said.
“To have no one at a reading?” I asked with the pure peculiar horror of an organizer at an unattended event.
“Totally,” she said.
When three people finally showed up, she seemed genuinely let down.
Oh well, Juliana.
She would have been especially dissapointed in the Machine Project Reading later that night, since we had to turn people away from the door because it was so packed.
Both readings were excellent, giving further proof that it doesn’t matter how many people are in an audience for a reading. If you’re that one person and the reading is good, then you could be in the middle of Times Square or on the moon, it wouldn’t matter.
