I went to a pre-event party last night, and met some really cool people, including Gaza Blues co-author Samir el-Youssef, who is hilarious.
There was a BBC-Arabic chick there who interviewed us…it was almost impossible to express my thoughts in Arabic.
I also finally got to meet Adania, who I’ve been e-friends with for five years. She’s adorable, even if she made me go to a pub when I was jetlagged. We got to see a fucked up statue of Oscar Wilde coming out of a coffin, and Adania said, “Why did they make him so ugly?”
