Well……it was wonderful!
First, it was just so nice to be there again, on a world that held so many memories.
Second, it was just really special to read with such a loving and appreciative audience around me.

The Arena on Mount Jofar

For about 50 minutes (I ran over the half hour mark) I read poetry in a place many times reserved for combat.

Make Verse not Battle!

I want to thank the many people who sent photos they took at the event, many of which were of me, so it’s not that I just want to, flood my post with my photos, but some were really nice. Thank you Kage Stratten, Gamma Infinity, Natascha, Dale, Shepp, Mireille for these great memories of the event.
There were about 28 people present and many old and dearly loved friends, as well as new listeners
