Stress Ball Goes to the Mile High City

Phew! Off to AWP tomorrow!

I think I've finished everything I needed to get done. Except the packing part. hmmm.

Gonna miss out on a ton of great readings and panels and parties on Thurs, but looking forward to Fri and Sat:

The Southern Review 75th Anniversary Reading. (Jeanne Leiby, David Kirby, Sydney Lea, Steve Almond, Bonnie Jo Campbell, Beth Ann Fennelly)

A Chorus of Hauntings: Giving Breath to Ghosts. (Deborah Poe, Cole Swensen, Jake Adam York, Brandon Shimoda, Selah Saterstrom, Claudia Smith)

And all the book fair dealzz.

At night, I'm torn between so many readings and so many beers. Black Warrior? Tarpaulin Sky? Hobart? Barrelhouse? Fence? I'm just going to say yes.

But I'm most excited to see these monsters (if you guess which one named my blog, I'll bring ya something back from the book fair):

While I'm gone, check out some hobart, some jellyfish, some best of the web. and amazingness for a small donation.

Let's see how much of a stress ball I'll be when I get back.
