The Small Press Showcase last night was a success, even if it did go on a little too long. Necessary to fit everybody in, but I do think an audiences attenion span starts to drift after a couple hours. Sarah, Daniela, and Melissa were awesome of course (as was Kathleen Rooney who got cut a little short at the end reading for for Switchback), and we sold a ridiculous amount of books. I'm always delightfully surprised at how many people want to buy them and how much praise I was hearing for our poets. (And not just the ones at the reading.) Funny thing was that, when I heard that it was an eight foot table I thought, hell, we'll never fill that. As you can see, not really a problem...
