Last night, the UBC MFA program held their monthly reading series, Locution, at Pulpfiction Books on Main Street, and, if judging by the lack of thrown fruit and active hecklers, the night was a success. Ian Bullock read his story Macrophobia, Gabrielle Pope read from her memoir Apples and Bananas, I got to read my story And Apparently, Cigarettes, and Kristjanna Gremmelt read some translated poems and her story You Know This Makes It All Worth It. The evening was capped with my friend, the incredibly gifted Mike Christie, who read from a story where a woman fakes suicide to chase down the paramedic she thinks she loves. Fantastic stuff. Mike had the entire place laughing their asses off.

I'd like to thank all of my fellow readers for putting on such a good show, and also Lindsay Cuff and Dina Del Bucchia for organizing the entire event. It was a lot of fun.
