Once the reading itself was over, we went to Palermo up the street -- Fred 62 had too long of a wait -- for excellent homestyle Italian food with Ron and the brother and mother of Joel's partner Jennifer. Lively political and geographic discussion was had by all and I got to watch bits and pieces of the Giants victory over the Dodgers. From there, Ron, Joel, and I headed down to the predictably packed Dresden, where Beth and her ample graduate school cohort were stationed. It was too loud to have deep conversations but still a lot of fun. Then we said goodbye and accepted Ron's hospitality -- he lives only blocks away from Skylight -- for an hour or so, during which time he read a selection from the memoir he's writing and cordially provided us with cordials. Before saying goodbye he gave each of us a fine article of hemp clothing. I'm always amazed at how well I navigate the vastness of L.A. by car. Last night was no exception and we made it back to Pasadena painlessly. Time to shower and caffeinate. I can't wait to hit the beach with Kim and Skylar.
