Today was the Louise Gluck poetry reading at the Alley Theatre (the one I have been waiting for since october) I wasn't able to go b/c I had a test at that time but in the afternoon she went to UH for a question/answer thing so I got to see her there. I have met and talked to many famous people before, but I have to say I was star struck for the first time today! She is my absolute favorite poet and to tell you the truth I didn't even know she was still alive when I first came across her work. She was completely the opposite from what I expected her to be but it was great hearing about what her poetry means to HER. I am so happy I got this experience- I know so many people who would have killed to meet her, and I got the chance!
also, saturday was Walk for a Dream, you might have heard about it...it was great about 6,000 people showed up and it felt so to be part of it! here are some pics
