Orgasm night group photo

Orgasm Night on October 21st was a rousing success! We'll have video up soon, but we sold books thanks to Mobile Libris, had cupcakes from Baked by Melissa and had 4 local New Yorkers, 5 out-of-town readers (from Madison, Wisconsin; San Francisco; Boston; Montreal; and Pennsylvania!). Very impressive and all talked about orgasm in some way, plus several readers from host Rachel Kramer Bussel's new anthology Orgasmic: Erotic Stories for Women.

More photos will be posted soon, but if you want to see them now, visit Flickr. Photos by Anya Garrett. And see the post directly below this for all your Comedy Sex Night (November 18th, 8-10) details!
