In the Flesh this Wednesday
April 16, 2006
If you’re in New York, you should make your way to Happy Ending (302 Broome St) this Wednesday evening at 8 pm for Rachel Kramer Bussel’s monthly erotic reading, In the Flesh. Its FREE, the theme this month is “True Confessions,” and the line up is killer:
Sexy nonfiction on the theme of “True Confessions” from local erotic authors, sex columnists, and personalities including comedian Dan Allen, Jessica Cutler (The Washingtonienne), Miriam Datskovsky (Columbia Spectator sex columnist), Josh Kilmer-Purcell (former drag queen, author, I Am Not Myself These Days), Judy McGuire (Dategirl columnist for Seattle Weekly), Audacia Ray (wakingvixen.com) and memoirist Felicia Sullivan.
There will be candy, cupcakes, and prizes as well, because RKB knows how to treat you right.
I will be reading my piece, “What’s a little fisting between friends?” which is in this here book, which just came out this past week. 
My piece is a touch nerdy, a little awkward, but also pretty sexy and funny, if I do say so myself. Its written about my first fisting (courtesy of the lovely Jane Vincent and her tiny hands), which took place at the beginning of the slutty period that began right after the breakup of my 4 and 1/2 year relationship in the winter of 2003 and has continued til my recent bout of abstinence.
To summarize: bar, free event, candy, story about fisting.
And seriously, if you come to the reading, say hi. I will no longer tolerate feeling like a loser at my events because no one says hi, only to get a bunch of nice emails the next day. If it looks like I’m really busy talking to people, its because I’m trying to look busy and not like a socially awkward weirdo who has been doing nothing but writing term papers for the last eight days (and will continue to do so til the 26th). Consider yourselves admonished.
This just in, a blurb about the reading in today’s Metro:

How crowded do these things get? I’ma try to make this since I missed the last one, but I’m no fan of sardine can-style congestion!

I can pretty much guarantee that this one’s gonna be the most crowded yet, so if you want a seat, get there early, especially because we have 7 readers.

The books sounds like it will make for a great read. I tried to find it on Amazon, but it didn’t come up… do you know were a girl could grab a copy?

Hey, I’m making plans to be there with a friend. I’ve been reading your blog off and on for a year and a half or so, beginning when you were seeing Gracie. Looking forward to the reading and seeing you!

Well, even though I didn’t know Broome Street went that far east, I made my way down there. Looks like you’ll have to pursue a bigger venue though! Couldn’t get past the crush of people in the hallway. I’ll have to get there much earlierr next time so I can stay and watch the whole show.

WHY MUST YOU LIVE SO FAR AWAY!?

I didn’t expect it to be so crowded either. I can see it getting really big during the summertime. I guess this is the result of popular movement + sex, which is a good thing for spreading positive vibes and good info, but I sure miss the days of obscure poetry cafe-sized audiences! Hopefully there be online video clips of the readings for us closet claustrophobes!

It’s never that crowded and probably won’t be again, though hopefully we’ll get decent crowds. I knew a lot of people would show (see comment above) but I had no idea just how many! Audacia, you were amazing, and I love the fisting demo photo.
First-Timers is on Amazon here (and if the link doesn’t work see below or just search “Bussel” and scroll)
