chang brought his scrapbook and I was reminded of the time henry opened up haas (🤫) for some late night basketball. i was just there to hang out and skate. but someone got hurt, I subbed in, drained three straight treys, and, realizing I had peaked, triumphantly rode off into the night, never engaging in semi-competitive quasi-athletics ever again. berkeley @booksincstores was a trip. thanks to fellow ‘last dragon’ enthusiast tommy orange for hustling over straight from the airport. thanks to my friends, some of whom I hadn’t seen since 98-9, for traveling great distances to be there. thanks to everyone who packed in there—former students, current cal kids, everyone. peace to TTSG nation for blessing me with the east bay’s finest libation. and thanks to alexis and grace and the callers @kqed_forum for starting my day right, and to @eastwindbooks for some excellent scores. SAN FRANCISCO TONIGHT with @vadiparty at @booksonthepark! i forgot to give out zines last night so i have a ton left and no desire to lug them any further.
