WHAM IS MY LED ZEPPELIN

this is a direct quote from jason henning, proprietor of food culture at august, the restaurant that is my current favorite place to knock back after-dinner muscat and request heaven 17's "let me go" which practically make sme weep. well, not really. but when i as an angst ridden 17 year old it sure did. now just mistily melancholic. which is quite delicious in itself. the reason i mention jason and his quote is that is ran thru my head all of AWP, where all the amazing headlines i plucked there from various people's mouths, were somehow lost in the haze, and so i had to go back to my original pre-AWP headline.


was at AWP all weekend in lovely chicago. highlights include the lovely panel i was on, finally meeting daphne gottlieb who wowed me with the fact that she sent one shot out to her blogging peeps and got like 9 repsonses in 2 minutes. powerful lady. laurel snyder, jordan davis, who is not a robot. tom and shanna who i am a big fan of were there too and we got good reviews for being a fun and interesting panel. rest of AWP can be accounted for like this: no sleep, amazing ribs, makeover at saks with too much bleu-marine eyeliner, wine, gimlets, melon colored hotel rooms, rayray, mary donnelly making me pee my pants laughing, linda asleep in a ball on matt's shoulder on the plane, smoky lobbies, ornate shining-like ball rooms, careful avoidance of all talk academic, late-night saline, and some bad shoes and some good shoes. maybe next year i should give a panel of shoe shopping for poets and fiction writers. we'll do shoe shopping for less, shoe shopping for readings, shoe shopping for panels, shoe shopping for writing. rayray, what do you think?
