so how do two fiction MFA's from FSU entertain themselves at the VIP party on the top of the hilton? easy. we approach writers from various universities, claim to have been in their workshops, watch them squirm as they try to remember and then say "oh, yes, of course!" to top it off, we ask for a picture. katie was quite enthusiastic in this game, and i was proud to be her friend.
it got better when mark winegardner got in the action, first accusing us of being mean, then pointing people out for us to scam. note him giggling in the background of katie's picture with dan chaon.
good fun? we thought so. good for our writing careers? probably not so much.
but we did meet some neat people on the up and up, like tom franklin and todd pierce.
and, yeah, what's up with my freakish red eye?
read katie's version.
