Good Times, Good Friends, And Happy Endings
Sexpot Donna, a beautiful man that I’ll call “Jay”, and I had a great time at the In the Flesh Erotic Reading Series last night. Good times. Good friends. I haven’t seen either of them as much as I would have liked lately. Jay and I are gonna make plans to do a proper dinner together soon. Sexpot Donna promises me that she has a story that will be great for an article that I’m writing. But, enough about my friends and more about this erotic reading series. If you live in New York and you’ve never checked out In the Flesh, you really should. Last night, the lineup included Jasmine Clemente speaking Spanglish, Colette Gale giving out free books, Jane Lockwood speaking with a British accent, Sean Manseau talking about a monkey, Robert W. Cabell making everyone laugh, Steven Padnick showing off his tatoo, and Rachel Kramer Bussel plying everyone with free chocolate and cupcakes all night. I also had a chance to meet a fellow brown blogger named Nichelle. (It’s kind of weird to meet someone for the first time when you already know their name and face, no? Even weirder to do that after drinking.)
After the reading was over, Jay, Sexpot Donna and I left Happy Ending, the venue at which the reading was held, and went home. I’m looking forward to the weekend; it’s my friend Bro’s birthday and other plans are taking place as well. Details and many good things coming soon.

That place looks really nice. Can you give me a clue on the crowd age/vibe at the reading?

@ Dkzone: The crowd is fairly mixed. Through my blueberry cosmo-colored vision, I remember seeing
younger and older faces of various hues. Brown folks were there, and maybe 60 – 70% of the rest of folks were white? The group of readers was a really good mix, too. Rachel seems to do a really good job of keeping it balanced. At this particular reading, the readers varied in age from probably 20s to 40s. Men and women. One Latina. One gay man. On a previous occasion, Danyel Smith read at the series. By the way, if you’re interested in more info about Happy Ending, here are a few reviews:
