cars and rain and garage soccer and pizza

lots of driving -- 8 hours from arcata to portland but it was lots of fun chilling with the girls, stumping artnoose with two questions: what's zip from zip code mean?

the reading was good -- met kate from miranda zine and her partner who wrote for rad dad 3 and another father with 3 boys

it was my best reading yet -- calm, interacted with the audience, zora and clover sold zines

artnoose was her typical amazing self even when clover the disturber we call her now made a squeaky sound with a kiddy toy

and had vegan donuts that rocked!

day one -- dead birds

Our first day was a blast…we killed a bird with our car (horrible), had lunch in the redwoods and discovered a miniature cave of baby dank trees, saw artnoose become AJ Foyt for mini-van drivers, rescued clover from the clutches of the Arcata swamp, made spaghetti, went to our reading and discovered we were the opening act to a band called eleven eyes, and while they were setting up clover spilled an experimental coconut crappy Italian soda with half and half on the floor, met a scrabble player who was from Berkeley. Then the reading. Tom read after artnooses intro to two rapt listeners and a few other random audience people. Artnoose continued to rock the house; we then went to Lynn’s studio and ran into a fox decapitating a seagull that he had been eating. Zora and clover and artnoose took pics while tom ran away….

See ya in Portland
