Quickies! The Gathering was pretty great. I think we all respect, hate, and love each other a million times more than we did before. Thanks to everyone who came out to see us read - we hope you were entertained/enlightened/aroused.
Here are some images from the tour. Enjoy!
It was awesome. Ask us about Iowa City.

Scenes from the Quickies! The Gathering Midwest Tour
Sunday, July 5, 2009
Follow the Dollar Store Tour!
The Dollar Store Tour is in Austin tonight at the Scoot Inn. If you live in Austin, get on down to the show. If you don't live in Austin, or in any of the other cities the tour will stop through, follow it on Twitter! Zach Dodson is tweeting (and tweetpic-ing (?)) here, our beloved Mary is tweeting here, and Blake Butler is tweeting here. Read 'em and join me in my jealous weeping!

Ah ssss PUSH IT. PUSH AWP REAL GOOD.
Our severe lateness in putting up this recap post can be explained by the fact that the Quickies! AWP Spectacular blew our minds and we've just waken from the coma. Every. single. reader. was. amazing. To wit:
Sean Lovelace (we stole this photo from Sean's blog. We were so flabbergasted by his story we forgot to take a picture. But here he is with Kim Chinquee!)
Robert Lopez (we didn't get a picture of him reading, but here's video of him reading. Uh, at a different event. Buy his book.)
Bitchface McGee
Joe Salvatore (if I had a dime for how many people came up to me to say how much they loved this story, I'd have a shitload of dimes)
Janet Desaulniers
Brian Evenson. Yep.
Seriously. It's great to have our motor skills back, but it was all worth it to be able to witness and be a part of such a lineup. Thanks to all the readers, and thanks to the audience, who braved an extremely crowded sweat lodge in order to hear some great short fiction:
And last but not least, thanks to these guys:
See you in March (our year anniversary)!
