Back to the HUMP
Super fun! Thanks for keeping me in the LOOP! xo
What a sensual poem, Robert! Great work. Also thanks for all the other links that you provided. From Len’s blog it sounds like you had a great time at the Conference.
I don’t know how you do it! Great blog, and I love the new book, too. Congratulations on your successes.
What an eclectic mix of great reading, stories, your poem (which is really lovely), and FUN BOY THREE. Now there’s a band I have not thought about in ages. Literally.
Brilliantly crafted poem, and great post. I love your HUMP day blogs.
Robert, you are AMAZING!!! So LOVE your poem and I thank you for adding my story in the mix! What a way to keep us all up on what’s happening! Thanks for all you do!!! xo
Meg, I adore you tons and tons. Your presence at Metazen lights up that entire zine. Keep writing these inspiring tomes, Meg. Rock on with your bad self! xoxo
I sleep during the day! Hehe!
Pals 4-ever!
Robert
Thank you Robert for including my little story among such great events and people. Very grateful this subject is getting the attention it deserves…even in this country (hello Patriot Act!!).
Alex, you are so welcome! I’m so happy it is getting the attention it deserves as well. Thus, the post. Plus, your great writing deserves it as well.
