15 notes

"It’s hard not to feel warm and gooey when you go to a Housing Works event, considering that their money is donated to help end HIV/AIDS. So instead of admission, everyone brought a book or three to donate to Housing Works. I donated Ann Beattie’s Picturing Will, one of her better novels. I got there really early at 6:30, and there was already a crowd. Some huddled around the stage and merch table–which were decorated in several bunches of gorgeous flowers–and others perusing shelves. A little bit later, events coordinator Amanda Bullock announced that the open bar was ready, and encouraged us to drink and continue our nerdy conversations. Beer and nerds always pair well."

HURRAY I love Electric Lit Outlet writeups! By the way, the flowers last night WERE gorgeous and from Sycamore in Brooklyn. Pro tip.
