In no particular order:

1. I purchased new bedding. For a variety of reasons: it was time.

2. I went to Robert Spellman’s lecture at the SWP, titled “Willa Cather goes to Naropa.” There is an extensive bibliography. Just when he thought there were no more questions: there was another question.

“Oh, Jesus Christ, it’s Anne Waldman.” – Robert Spellman

3. I got super close to a really tiny bunny. It lives in LA’s parents’ backyard.

4. I hung out with a worm child and her older sister. Also: their mother.

5. Erin and I went to Counterpath Press to see Christina’s fancy talk on Sasquatch, which was very informative. After: she showed some of her videos, which were fantastic. Here’s one: Tracking Sasquatch

6. Janet came to Boulder and I bought one of her fancy, limited edition plastic records.

7. BABY SHOWER! Alana and Brandon are having a baby. At the baby shower, I got to see some cool people that I don’t always get to see, and I got to hang out with Frances Eliza Dartt.

8. Lisa, Bhanu, Andrea, & Melissa came over for happy hour. It was fun. We talked about Bhanu and Andrea’s reading, which happened earlier that week, and for which I banged some pipes together and tried to evoke a feeling of unease. Overall: the reading was a success, as was the happy hour.

9. Yoshimi threw up a very large hairball. Later: I stepped in it.

10. Lisa and I had drinks after her fabulous reading. We were like kids stuck at the kids’ table at Thanksgiving, only: we wanted to be at the kids’ table. Eventually: Michelle brought us nachos.

11. LA sent off the paperwork for her Berlin residency.

12. The new chairs arrived!

13. I started getting excited about the prospect of snow. And maybe: the beach.
