WAIT. THIS has been updated. too lazy to write all new shit.
I was just thinking about sending a letter to Bret Easton Ellis, posing as a teenager lusting after his ass and requesting that he kidnap me.
!!!UPDATE!!!: this is just unbelievable to me - my friend, bryan, who opened the gallery which prompted my luck with 2 agents here in new york has just moved and sold most of his furniture in order to pay rent on the gallery to keep it open. he said it has been worthwhile because it has helped me out so much. he also donated some money to red cross for the NO victims. what an awesome guy. oh, yeah, we are having a NO fundraiser later this month at UU Gallery in Williamsburg. I will be reading, cover charge i haven't figured out yet, anyone who buys my book, the money will go to the fundraiser as well, people COME OUT
there will be free wine and snacks.
everyone please go say hi to treason and averagegroupie. our friend's memorial service is on friday. we are all pretty broken up about the passing of this amazing guy.
I heard from another agent who read my collection of short stories over Labor Day and said hes now a fan of my work but he didnt know how the hell to market that book, so I sent him chapters from a new book, Virgin Zoo, about my life on the streets of Chicago in 1996. I get the hint he wants gritty, semi-true kinda stuff and he seems pretty enthused about getting me a book deal.
Half of my mind is lost. The other half Im currently trying to sell.

I don't think you have to know anybody "well enough' to be angry with them...my outrage really shot out upon looking at the testimonials, like you just have no right to this to people when they will never know why and all THEIR grief, it's true. This is coming I guess from my girlfriends calling and me being at a loss. One of my friends has lost 3 scene friends now in under a year; she's so depressed and devestated. I won't harp on it much. I have to visit treason I fee lbad for him, did you see his previous post to me? I have to go it up again myself, very sad.
