We're home again.

We're in Seattle now that conference festivities are over. We spent the day being tourists, walking around down town, and trying different food from the many places around pike place. The conference was fun and productive--I'm on vacation, so I'm not going to do a thoughtful post about it now, but later. I did a handstand as part of my reading, which is a good indication of the whole atmosphere of the event.

The Umbrella Above our Table at the Julian Pie Company was as Beautiful as the Pie

1. Finishing my essay on Alma and other things for the Feminist poetics panel at Press this weekend. It's not really an essay, and it's not really finished, but I think it will be a good "talk." I've never been one for reading my paper as a presentation start to finish anyway.

2. Trying to familiarize myself wtih Pig Angels of the Americlypse; looking forward to rehearsing and performing.

3. Laundry and getting Lester ready to head off to the vet for boarding tomorrow.

4. Packing. I like packing. I'm not sure if I'll bring any dresses. Certainly I will bring some heels.

5. Organizing my poems for readings both at the conference and later in Seattle in the Subterranean Yak series.
