Yes to Dark 'n Stormies, yes to walking into the club just as they started up "All of Me", yes to spending almost the whole time writing, yes to the last two hours of the set talking shop with a poet from Hoboken who Just Didn't Give a Shit about what anyone else thought, yes to Eric, the music-business-grad-school trumpet player who was The White

Ray Bradbury answered a letter from you?

I love him. Every year, he gives a talk at the UCLA festival of books, and as often as I'm able to, I go. He can just hold an audience in the palm of his hand, he's incredible. and feels quite honestly, like a gentleman.

i hope the world opens up to you with only yes

well, not exactly - I was told my someone who knew him, and people who'd written him, that Bradbury answers nearly every letter he gets, because of how supportive he wants to be...

and thank you...I've been really happy, too, to hear about the good things you keep reaching for, and trying and heading towards...

and I hope we both end up with something incredible :)
