A video has been posted of a reading I did on Sept. 11, as part of an event called Buffet Flats, a salon that mixes queer performance with the San Francisco local food & urban farming movements. The salon was held in the "Tenderloin National Forest," a magical garden and gallery space built up from a formerly scary, dead-end alley in the midst of the 'hood.
I wrote a piece called "The Safeway" especially for this night -- it's a mostly-true memoir of going to Safeway on 9/11, in a post-attack panic about the end of the world.
Shout-outs to Seth Eisen of Buffet Flats (that's him in the finery, introducing me), Mark McBeth for taping and posting the link, and my pal John Vlahides, to whom the story is dedicated.
