Another review of In The Flesh: LA
Note: I don't like how I look in the photo below, but am posting it anyway. Thanks, Gram, for the writeup, and it was great to finally meet you!
I wish I could attend the next one, on June 26th, as it's Confessions Night with:
Confessions Night with Jenny Block (Open), Pleasant Gehman, Regina Lynn (Sexier Sex), Maggie Marr (The Hollywood Girls Club), Rog Roberge, Eugene Robinson (Fight).
LA people - go to this! It's outdoors and there's cupcakes and just check out this amazing lineup. Very exciting.
Those in New York can catch In The Flesh: LA host Carly Milne Tuesday, June 17th at Bluestockings and/or Thursday, June 19th at GLBT Night at In The Flesh at Happy Ending.
Gram Ponante, writer for Fleshbot and other smutty sources, attended the launch of In The Flesh: LA and wrote:
The readings were an interesting combination of blog-based erotica and the more traditional kind, with a couple of stops in between.
Last night's theme was "Survival" and, though not every reader kept to the theme, cross-dresser Willem Belli started the evening with a bang with a searing story of toe-rape at the nether digits of a male prostitute. Then Bussel read her riveting account of a mostly-zipless fuck at the Atlanta airport, which was the evening's most graphic and evocative story.
British author Maxim Jakubowski read a story called "The Summer of Grant Lee Buffalo," a sexual autobiography as it related to music. The title referred to a crush his lover had on the bass player of Grant Lee Buffalo, Paul Kimble.
There was a generational divide that affected my enjoyment of the story; while two people had just read from blogs (or, as I suspect of Belli, extemporaneously), Jakubowski's reading was a chapter of his book. My attention waned as the litany of music and sex continued (Leonard Cohen, jazz, more Leonard Cohen), through no fault of his own, but through my own inability to pay attention to anything that takes more than two revolutions of a scroll wheel.
