See Your Editor Stutter Live And In-Person

For the third time, Penn’s esteemed Kelly Writers House has invited me to speak in front of a crowd there at an event. Yes, your self-deprecating editor will be speaking at a respected institution of writing once again; for me to be doing my third reading at Writers House not even four years out of college is mind-blowing. (I am certain it was this post that drove them to invite me this time.)

Monday’s Writers House event is called 7-Up on Rock, this year’s installment of the annual 7-Up series. Seven writers read for seven minutes about seven different topics loosely related to a theme; there’s a nice recap of last year’s even here. I will be reading about the great sport of rock paper scissors. It will be the second time I’ve read about RPS at Writers House; the other reading I did was basically five minutes of me whining about not having a girlfriend. I’ve also managed to curse at both readings I’ve done so far; expect no less this time.

I thought I had posted this Friday, so hooray for late notices. If any RPS players or blog readers come out we can head to a bar sometime afterward; if any of you actually come out I will probably blush. 6 p.m., Kelly Writers House, 3805 Locust Walk.

The full release is after the jump.
