On Tuesday, 10th August the faculty of the LLF Emerging Voices Retreat (me, Ellery Washington, Ellen Bass) are doing a special reading and ho-holds-barred Q&A session for the Writing Fellows. You could be there, too--mingle with this small group--if you're willing to pick up a couple of people from the LA airport on Sunday 8th August and drive them to Bel Air.
Who will you be picking up? Me and Kelley. We're pleasant passengers (though we will be stunned by hours of travel) and you would have our gratitude. Plus, y'know, access to the coolest private queer lit evening eva!
So if you live in LA, are free for a couple of hours the afternoon of August 8th, and have a car that can fit two people and their luggage, give me a shout. Please save us from the horror of cabs and airport shuttles!

Dang, I wish I lived in LA! If you ever need this service in Boston, let me know. Or Manchester (NH, that is), or Providence...
ReplyDeleteHowdy - I live in L.A. but I've got a couple of questions: When will you be arriving? Will you have lots of luggage? Will you need a ride after the reading? I've been a fan since Ammonite.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting into LAX at around 7pm that night from Florida (if the airlines cooperate). If you're there that late, I'd be happy to give you both a ride. I'll be traveling north to get home anyway. (jennreese@gmail.com)
ReplyDeleteNicola, I'd like to make myself available as a resource as well. I live about 30 minutes away from LAX and have a wagon that would easily fit two of you and your luggage.
ReplyDeleteI'm a recent Clarion West grad, and we met briefly at Greg Bear's party. You were kind enough to answer some of my questions in his living room before the whole crowd came in for one last group chat.
