saturday night

when i google image searched "saturday night special" this truly horrifying image came up. tomorrow night i am reading at the saturday night special reading series in berkeley, which will not be horrifying and maybe even great. 7pm at nick's lounge. i will probably be exhausted and sweaty because i'll have just moved my whole life 3 hours north, but i am still excited to read for you.
