Test Pattern was amazing. Jen Diskin was on tonight--she owned the evening like I hoped she would. I had a chance to sit down and talk to an up-and-coming writer tonight. We grabbed some coffee at a diner on the edge of town. From the first time she read @ Test Pattern a few monthes back Andrea and I have been blown away by her language, the layering of images upon images--amazing and very talented. It was great to sit down and talk in great length about what makes her writing tick et. all. The bonehead move; however, came in the fact that I gave her a poem of mine to read--and it had her email and contact info on it!! How the Hell am I going to be able to comment on the poem she gave me?! I don't want to wait another month. Shit. . . well. . . I did give her my phone number but not my email--hopefully she'll call or I will have to track her down to give her some feedback. It's great to see such talent developing out of the area writing scene. . ."it's all happening. . ." indeed. NYC tomorrow!!
