Back Fence PDX Day!
Posted on | August 27, 2008 | 14 Comments
I’m so excited for Back Fence PDX day. Today’s story is by Rich from Overheard in PDX. It’s a great blog and people in Portland submit things they’ve overheard in the city. I might or might not have submitted to this blog in the past.
So, according to Rich, he didn’t catch the true part, but he did something very cool blending the real and not real. The story itself is speculative fiction and his brief description of the process of writing it is something to integral to the writing process: a dream.
I love both the inspiration for the story and the direction he took it. Thanks, Rich for submitting!

One more thing — Kiala Kazebee and I will be taking tea at the Ace Hotel in downtown Portland at 1pm today. Fans, paparazzi and friends are invited to come, ask for our autographs and our thoughts on important things like Forever 21, Pre- and Post-1975 literature and, of course, the secret to great hair.

Two things:
1. I wish I weren’t at work so I could “take in tea” with you
2. I am working on my story. I don’t want it to suck. hbaha. suck.

What does “taking tea” mean?
Is that some kind of code for “hot woman on woman blogger action?”
I think it is.

That’s me!
I will, of course, be wearing my very dark sunglasses while we’re there.
Maybe one of us should look hungover too. I vote for me.

Crissy: The thought of you whipping something out is enticing.
Rachael: Call in sick.
Meagan: It won’t suck.
Apollo: It’s British. We’re fancy like that.
KK: We need a handler, don’t you think?

Sorry, I’ve got plans to lounge in my cubicle all day. You don’t want me to give that up, do you? Don’t be greedy, ladies.

I want tea. Can’t you have tea somewhere with a speakerphone so I can conference in?

Tea! Its such a delightful stormy day. Perhaps I can venture over there for a moment; I work right around the corner from the Ace.

**Am currently filled with jealousosity that you’re able to do the high-tea thing in the middle of the day**
I’m definitely in the wrong line o’ work, miz ladies.

mediaChick: They’ll excuse you won’t they?
Stoogie: Kiala will have her mephone, I’m sure and perhaps we can do some sort of live blogging thing, which will look like this:
1:07 hahahahah
1:08: hahahahah
1:10: Boys are dumb.
1:12: why is no one here for our autograph
1:15: Boys are cute.
1:17: hahhahah
1:18 Intern Nathalie shows up.
1:19: To Clyde Commons for drinks!
And not to get everyone too excited, but there is a photobooth at the Ace. Just sayin’.
Nathalie: Yes, please.
Aisha: Yes, you are. Join the writers.

Old news I’m sure, but if I were in Portland I would totally help with a podcast of the event. But I live in Los Angeles – for no apparent reason what so ever.
