1. Nora Rocket. Seriously, she's even better-spoken in person. WTF, I know, but it's true.
2. An actually engaged post-talk impromptu book group I'm going to dub half-jokingly "the integrity club". It was interesting and of course flattering but also incredibly incredibly helpful talking through this stuff with a group of people I don't know anything about.
3. Ah, honestly, this quilt made out of men's used work clothing. It was so beautiful, I cannot even begin to describe it.
4. The most insanely flattering and kind introduction K L Periera of the Center for New Words was kind enough to make up about me. Apparently, I can shoot lasers out of my eyes. Who knew?
5. Ah, the Tibetan food of Boston is really quite exquisitly kick-ass?
6. The really fantastic questions everyone but one dude asked after my talk, which were all super smart otherwise.
7. The Lucy Parsons Center collective members, who were all pretty cool.
8. Honest Elliot, the cat of in-person Nora Rocket, who reminds me quite a bit of my cat Cake, who was orange and really fat, except Elliot is kind of like if you squished two Cakes together, fur-wise.
9. Late-night America's Next Top Model and Sex and the City discussion group. We meet on the couch.
10. Doing makeup in the backseat of the car before the show. I don't know why I was giggling the whole time, but I was putting makeup on in the dusk-coming-on-dark and didn't really care and apparently I thought this was really funny.
