Hi Bruce,

 

Nice talking to you at New Year's Eve event at the Hynes. I'm the guy who did the piece on Bangkok.

 

You mentioned you might be looking for a feature for a future event at Out of the Blue.

 

I would love to do it. I'm available in March.

 

Question: can I read some pieces from paper? (Not all my stuff is memorized.)

 

My site has two samples of me reading at Blacksmith House for the Cambridge Center for Adult Education.

 

Let me know!
