long overdue...

last saturday i took a little study break to go see one of my classmates give an, erm, poetry reading at the carnegie museum of art.

i ran into this classmate of mine the other day, while i was walking down the street and he was waiting for a bus, and i was justly chastised for not having blogged about the experience. so here're some kudos for george, my favorite law student/photographer/poet triple-threat!

(whoa -- if you think about it, george is like the pitt law beyonce knowles!)

george did a masterful job with his two poems. and most importantly, he looked sharp. and since he was the last of the group to read, he got all the applause (and deserved as much!). i'm actually really proud of george (and i don't know if i've told him this) for actively pursuing interests outside of school. it's way too easy to just get consumed by all that this degree requires. he's kind of a hero of mine for making the time to do things that are important to him. i'm glad i got the chance to see some of that manifest itself! hooray!

and george, thanks for autographing that program for me -- once you're rich and famous, that thing's gonna come in handy on ebay!

mwahahahaha laughing at the image of george as pitt law's beyonce knowles. did he wear gold lame? mwhahaha. (seriously, i'm impressed and sure he did awesome, but i'm distracted.)

you gots to hook me up when you go to poetry readings and the like! no one ever wants to do anything literary with me :( or at least, this is the idea i have in my mind. have you been to the gist street readings? first friday of the month. we should check them out next semester.
