A view from the podium.
Larry Thomas reads.
It's been an interesting week. Monday I went to my first Mack Brown press conference as The Austin Chronicle continued in its quest to turn me into a sports writer, specifically on the University of Texas Longhorn football beat. It resulted in two pieces that you can see here.
Friday, poet Joe Hoppe, prose writer Maxine Beach, who is also the new head of the Austin Community College Creative Writing Department, and I got up early to drive to Granbury. After biscuits and gravy at a local diner, we read at Langdon Weekend, an event sponsored by Tarleton State University. In the photo above you can see my view out on the audience with a copy of my novel Evacuation Plan in the foreground.
Later we listened to a reading by Texas' new poet laureate Larry Thomas at a private residence overlooking the local lake.
On the way back we stopped in Dublin for some of that real-sugar Dr Pepper minus the period.
