Ganymede said we should drive through the night

Last night I did a reading. It was the first time I have done a reading. It was for Succour. It was in London at "The Bestey Trotwood". Rosies dog is called that. I stayed with Crispin Best and Rebecca Perry. They are in love. On the tube Crispin rubs his crotch a lot. On the way back from the reading we smiled at people that looked as though they did not want people to smile at them. I was drunk because I am young and had not eaten. Crispin and Rebecca were not. Crispin is happy and funny. In London I tubed around in circles. At the reading I was nervous. Afterwards I spoke to some people and they bought me some beer. James Peake was a poet and he worked for Random House. He said I was good. He said he spoke to an agent about me. James longitalianname was a photographer and illustrator who said he would like to illustrate one of my books. I think I got some more pre-orders for FENCES. This morning I was tired and said not much. I think I left half a bottle of beer by the bed last night. Sorry Crispin. Crispin was very nice to have me. Rebecca Perry is a poet. Crispin Best likes someone Dunthorne who also read and was very very very good. I said those exact words to him. He has long blonde hair and he wore denim shorts. FENCES has come back from the printer correctly now so the review copies are being printed. People can send me emails about that if they want. I am going to stop blogging now for maybe a month or something. I will probably still answer emails.

  1. Joe Dunthorne. He has a novel out called 'Submarine' or something like that. I haven't read it.

    If you do another reading in London I will come and say hello to you if that's okay.

  2. This is so unrelated but I just had a thought.
    I've decided that Chapster and I will be your NYC TerrorCrew.
    I don't know what that entails, but you should be excited.
