I have never been to The Loft, but I've heard great things about what it does for the literary community in the Twin Cities. I had a story published last spring in Grey Sparrow Magazine and, after finding out that they were based in St. Paul, I asked if they need any help. Diane, who runs the magazine, is a retired welfare worker and a phenomenal human being. She said I could help by doing some precursory reading for her and I jumped right onboard. It's good to have friends and Diane is a good friend to have. Grey Sparrow won the Best New Literary Journal of 2010 at last year's MLA shindig and it couldn't have gone to a sweeter woman. Or a better magazine. Lots of excellent stuff in there. ANYWAY: Thanks to Diane and Grey Sparrow, I'll be participating in my first literary reading. I'll be reading my short story, Painting Elephants, that first showed up in Grey Sparrow. I'm looking forward to it and if you think you'd like to experience a reading (I'll be a first-timer too) just let me know and I'll get you the details.

Grey Sparrow reading at The Loft in Minneapolis.
So, this may be a little late but how did the reading go?
