i am worried about new orleans

i would love to do the ro jo reading and am definitely on board. (my own dorky abbreviation reminds me that tony used to eat a product named 'rojo fries' at shakey's pizza in midland. theme song, 'shakey's pizza, we're shakin' up a lot of pizza.')

my parents are here in houston right now - they helped me and tony move today - and zac just came through on tour - it was great to see him, you have a good fun shaggy brother on the drums, jared - also, new orleans, again, is about to be washed away by a hurricane. luckily my parents are here, by happenstance, and i think my grandparents are provided for. but if everyone would think hard for the welfare of my city it would mean a lot to me.

steve, my dear, tell us what to read and i'll find it...the rice library is pretty lame on poetry, but i do have a copy of ark, and i'll check to see what all they have.

also, maybe blogtown is a bad place to announce, but i would like to announce to you, steve, that tony and i are getting married next year in april, you will have to come and carry us around. i would like to hear more about merced -

lots of love to all,
