A Return to Chicago and the Sunday Night Sex Show

Because, for whatever reason, I thought it’d be a great idea to read again at the Sunday Night Sex Show in Chicago, August 28th. It’ll be my third reading at the series, and experience has proven that everything will turn out fine. Grab the mic, wrap the cable in loops from wrist to elbow. Remember that no one actually comes prepared to these readings. Hell, last time I read, the guy before me had a story written on a napkin.

Anyway, I’ll be reading this Sunday night, August 28th. Joining me for his first appearance at the SNSS will be my wing-man and occasional, reluctant caretaker, Paul Grens… which should make the night a chaotic spectacle. I’m looking forward to seeing you!

“In Your Absence” Wins at the CSPA!

I wrote a short story about the death of my step-father a few years ago, and it somehow managed to A.) get published in Hair Trigger, Columbia College Chicago’s annual showcase of literary talent, and B.) win Third Place in the “Magazine Essay” category of the Columbia Scholastic Press Asociation’s Gold Circle Awards. It feels good to win something, as there were thousands of other entrants in the competition. Read more here.

So…

…does this mean I get paid now?
