A galaxy of gracious thank-yous to everyone who helped make Reading #6 such a trip: William, Stephen, Christina, Leona, Mazzara, Joanna, and Anthony for performing your flappy lits; Pacific Standard for your warm & welcoming hospitality; Alibi Jones for your sparkly singing & fine photography; and all you beautiful star-children who came to watch us boogie. Let’s do this again, say, sometime before Memorial Day…?
