Vertigo

Aw, man. My hometown screws over my favorite local author:

"...I hadn't had a humiliating signing for a long time, but Memphis ended my streak: six (6) people showed up, plus one guy who stumbled in by accident...The six people who came on purpose couldn't have been nicer, but it's hard to do a good reading when you know everyone there is feeling sorry for you, and even worse to deal with the embarrassed chagrin of the bookstore people..."

That makes me feel like crap. If I still lived there I totally would have gone! I guess Memphis just isn't freaky in a Poppy Brite way.

And talk about vertigo-inducing - she's writing about Cozy Corner while I sit in New Orleans, reading about it. Weird.
