I’m back in Michigan… Wordfest was incredible, favorite moments include: sitting on the same couch as Sandra Tsing Loh and Lynda Barry, browsing at Powell’s then walking over to Rocco’s and having a slice of greasepizza with punks and their punkbabies; meeting a college freshman who told me she couldn’t wait to read my book; and ordering “companion fish” from the Benson’s Hotel’s friendly housekeeping staff (2 minutes later, a couple of active and confused goldfish showed up in a bowl, carried by a suited man). I was on the same plane as Lynda Barry on the way home, which rocked my world.
