Fun times with stories
Jul. 11th, 2007 11:17 pmLast night Danielle & I held her Boston edition of the story-reading evening. She'll say it was my idea, but this is my LJ, so I say it was HER evening! (I wasn't even going to be there due to a forgotten conflict... which I ended up having to skip because this was too much fun.)
A good bunch of people showed up; not too many for the room, thankfully. And as some left, later in the evening, we added teleconference attendees!
I'd spent the previous few commutes reviewing my issues of Fantasy and Science Fiction, looking for the short stories that had stood out. I choose "The Green Dog" by Mel Gilden (May 1978 issue), a fun story with a nice arc and some "racy" words :-)
We were graced by not one but TWO author-read pieces.
Possibly the best story I heard was a letter from a Customer Service Rep to an unsatisfied customer of the I Can Talk 1900.
I would totally do this again!
