I read at the open mic at the Iota series in Arlington, Va tonight with Claudia Gary Annis and Lo. Lo had never read her poetry in public before and was very anxious during an excruciatingly long wait, but she was great and deserves electronic applause echoing throughout the most distant precincts of Eratosphere!

Yay for all of you, especially Lo! Where in Arlington? (I went to high school in Arlington, about a million years ago....)

Well done Lo. The first performance is always terrifying. Now you know you can do it.
Congratulations.

Congrats, Lo! It's about time. I would love to have been there.

I read this board daily, but to post I always have to go looking for my Username and password so you know I was seriously motivated to send you my kudos. : ) And best to Dan, too.

Good on you,

Pat

Good for you, Lo! It is always scary to get up in front of people and do anything, but it usually gets easier with practice. I hope you found that the rush of having an audience for your work compensated for the fear of facing them.

Susan
