Hey /lit/

A lot of us are lonely bookworms and writers. How about we do a meetup thread? Mods, you can take it down if you want to but jesus, I'm just trying to make us connect a little bit.

Just in general, though, is there anything more /lit/ than writers in love, creating movements unto themselves, waves that rise higher than your chest that you have to hold your breath and dive under rather than bounce above, sunrises that burn your eyes when you wake up at 7AM to write, waking up in the middle of the night after screwing to pen a stupid love poem free-verse for the lovely boy (or woman, provided she's thick enough to attract me) beside you?

Seattle is a no go. If you are looking for a spot in Washington conducive for a literary lifestyle you gotta travel a little south to Tacoma.. Panhandling is illegal here so all the homeless are bona fide bean eating train hoppers opposed to that 19 year old stoner shit you get in Seattle. Those homeless peeps coupled with the seasoned wellfare niggers on Hilltop all roaming alongside the industrious Port of Tacoma that is constantly muddying the Puget Sound is the perfect writing environment.

Wrote this yesterday about a reading in Oakland (where I live) from Monday. This was my first intro to any lit scene

I went to a reading, a 'chapbook' release being thrown by the publisher- Alexandra Naughton author of I Will Always Be Your Whore.
I met a guy from soc there to buy oxy, and so I wasn't the guy who showed up alone.
I walked around kind of awkwardly noting some of the people I recognized from their picture. I had messaged Alexandra a story of how I groped a girl on public transportation along with my pictutre, she didn't respond and I didn't mention either if this when I introduced myself - which I realzed was probably awkward because I had the feeling that everyone else knew eachother. Upon feeling that I introduced myself to the guy she was with, who I ended up talking to while Alexandra tried to get tiny chat to work on her phone. Apparently this guy wasn't reading but I'm exceedingly interested in male writers in this indie/alt scene

First up was Alexandra herself. Posting I think some ~selected tweets while caming for TC. Made a point to mention her Clueless thing, which I find very expected of her to pretend to like. Toward the end she said something funny about how she loves to be asked about how she's doing online and I found it funny because I've chased that online fame in the past and said something similar when a family member asked me how life was

Next is the bouncer turned poet. Not as self aware or PoMo, but I enjoyed his overly dark poems and so did the older lady in the crowd who closed her eyes as he spoke

Then Mister PoMo Hispanic Guy. He said some very funny things but kind of ruined it by overexplaining, which I'm guessing was quasi intentional

Then Edgy McEdgster by the name of Joel Landmine. Talked about other people's girlfriends while he was there with his attractive fiance. Karma is a bitch Joel. Probably the guy there who I write the most like

Then the lady of the night Cassandra Dallet. Taller than me, big ass and writes about growing up without a home and black men a lot. She kind of reminds me of a future version of my ex which makes me hate her but I bought her book and it's not terrible

Only good thing ever in that city was the Old man and his used book shop with the dank porn mags all the injuns jack off to around 3pm in the rows.

It shut down in December I think.
All the other used book stores are much more over priced I bought Gibbons rise and fall of the Roman Empire there.
I was sad to see it go but we have a new great book store on Osborn Burt Lyseki books I think it's called.
