The raucous AlteredScale.com issue 3 Launch Reading, which began by quoting punk band The Magnolias—"complicated fun"—and ended with a fist-pumping yell, "Let's party," was not video recorded because of technical difficulties. Five of us who participated in the reading came over to christen my new apartment with a....party....and a reading. I made pesto, cole slaw salad, chicken, and guacamole. The Brannens brought fine cookies. Dan and Mary brought bread, cheese, and beer. I was even in dress pants. We were mighty bourgeois. A good time was had by all.
