In The Flesh on Flickr

I know you'll be there August 20th for our crazy fabulous lineup. Quickies was short, sweet, and snack-filled, and a good lesson in the power of less. Remember, when reading, less really is more. I promise you. No idea if we will be doing another Quickies - I think not, since I'm already way overworked with running this series, but if the opportunity arises, I will consider it.


Snacks at Quickies - Baked by Melissa cupcakes will be back for In The Flesh August 20th along with many other treats

I still owe you some videos, though if you missed Mike Daisey's reading, you missed out and should make sure you mark your calendars next time. Everyone else's are currently on YouTube and most will be up here soon.

I will soon be posting a list of all 200+ readers who've read at In The Flesh since October 2005, but in the meantime, peruse the photos and add your own in our brand-new Flickr group, inspired by the Sex Worker Literati Flickr group.

The official In The Flesh Flickr account also has some photos - someday I will get it updated!
