speaking for Adam Robinson's class tonight

I've got the (now kinda massive) outline for So Say the Waiters all printed out and ready to go. This is for Adam's Story Writing course so I hope this doesn't scare the crap put of these kids. It's all fun, though. I'll bring in my sketch books with all the drawings for Falcons on the Floor and all the notes for DMBSTRCK, The Last Book of Baghdad, and all the Waiters notes.

So Say the Waiters on Baltimore Chop, "could easily become the next Repo Man"


"And if you ask us, it’s something we’d like to see with our actual eyes as well.
