i like the pictures by your name now in comments.
Jesus Christ. They can't put up some dough and send you to the northwest?
Austin, TX?
Maybe Matthew Simmons could organize a Tao Lin Seattle reading...
Myself, I'll probably be in New York this summer, probably.
I second the Austin recommendation. It's warm here, and there's vegan food.
i might read in washington
i want to read in austin
that's an aggresive schedule, I think. good luck. I'm sure much will come from such hard work. can't wait to catch a few of them around the city.
i second a Seattle reading.
I'd be happy to help you set something up if you can get to Seattle, Tao. Say the word.
I fourth the Seattle reading.
i will go to seattle maybe
thank you matthew, i will tell you if i am going, thank you
If you can try to give a couple of months notice, I can probably get the bookstore to sponsor it, and maybe we can find other stuff that can happen, too. Music, or other readers.
"the" bookstore? Open Books?
do any of you seattle people work in a cafe or something?
i would like to send you 4x6 glossy flyers to put on a table or on bulletin boards
i really wish you were coming to read in san francisco.
also, i recently discovered that you exist. my poetry II teacher at Mills College (it is my final semester) included you in our reader. all the sudden i felt like there was a market for me--i write different things but there are some very similar things about our work. did i just compliment myself? no. i am just saying that i appreciate the approachability and i get the sentiment.
best to you. from one internet person to another.
hi click,
what did your professor put in the reader by me?
tao
Tao why are you avoiding the South?
A few weeks ago I read Tim O'Brien's "On the Rainy River" to a class of eighth graders. Afterwards I asked if the abbatoir scene had grossed them out. They all nodded. Then one of them said, "What's your hat say?"
I'd taken an old mesh cap, one with a blank front, and written TAO LIN across it and wore it to the reading. I told them Tao Lin was a writer. What does he write about, someone asked.
Animals, I said.
What kind of animals.
Hamsters. Bears.
I have a hamster.
What's your hamster's name?
Zed.
I guess I wore the hat for nothing. Weeks of promotional hat-wearing, down the tubes. Those books you're sending better be good.
thank you for promoting me on your hat
tao,
i hope this is for your curiosity and not for an potential copyright infringement? :)
we were given a few things from you are a little bit happier than i am: "some of my happiest moments in life occur on AOL Instant Messenger" "if i get hit a little by a truck tonight i'm okay with that" "i want to pour orange juice on my face" "that night with the green sky" "poems that look weird" "lonliness is just a word..." "pessimism? or robotics?" "it'll get different" "Friday" "thanksgiving" "Appreciate Me For Everything GOod i Have Done in the Past" "book reviewers always praise books as 'life-affirming' because the more humans there are on the earth the better" "Washington Mutual is A Bank That Is Everywhere" "I Will Like The Things I Dislike, Hate, Or am Indifferent Towards"
strangely, even she noticed that the font that was published in is the same or similar to what i used in my chapbook the semester before. it was the first time i had seen your work, though, a few weeks ago.
i've got that twinge of writerly jealously that's pleasant and mostly happy and not destructive.
i'm glad your teacher passed out many of my poems
i encourage passing out my poems
in the future i want to post the book on the internet somehow and be sued by action books and represent myself and lecture everyone, then be fined $2,000
you might like to know that your many poems were sandwiched between the mayo and the mustard. also, between excerpts from "the anger scale" (katie degentesh) and "the poetics of space (only part 4)" (gaston bachelard)
the mayo and the mustard, what does that mean
is mayo and mustard metaphor for terrible shit or something?
are you kidding? the mayo and the mustard are what make the roast beef taste so good!
do you feel that those particular entries as mayo and mustard represent something like terrible shit?
yes, mayo and mustard to me are terrible shit
seriously, come to canada! we would love you here. =)
Damn it! I was convinced that you would be in MA sometime between now and Sept. 17th. Now I may not see you again before my... "death."
