THEY SHOULD CALL IT "A BEING READ TO."
External link:
I went to a reading at the Telephone Bar in the East Village last night. There was a decent short story by writer Greg Sanders, a laughably bad excerpt from "This Won't Hurt a Bit" by author Timothy Sheard, and a not-even-funny-how-bad-it-was reading of some song lyrics by Katherine Pritchard (maybe it's better with the music?).
But the highlight of the show was the reader I came to see, my friend Jessica Delfino, who wowed the crowd. She read a collection of actual letters she wrote to people who advertised positions for hire. She wrote ridiculous replies, designed to ensure she would not be hired. They were great, as are the responses from her would-be employers. Her archives aren't working, but go to her Web page, and read the entries from April 17, 2003 and June 14, 2003. They're really funny! Unfortunately, they're missing the replies from the prospective employers.
How about it Jessica Delfino? Why don't you republish your archives, and also put up the responses from the employers?
