Ben Greenman is a pretty okay guy (I know, I know, I’m gushing). He’s an accomplished editor at this rag called The New Yorker and he’s published, like, a half dozen novels. Sometimes he takes time out of his busy days to laugh, via Gchat, at my stories about working in a sex [...]

Interview: Jon Burgerman
April 20th, 2009 · 3 Comments · Art and Culture
Jon Burgerman is one of my favorite artists. A couple of months ago I happened to see him in the crowd at an art show my boyfriend was in, but refrained from speaking to him because of the astronomically high likelihood of coming off as the Ultimate Creep.

April 11th, 2009 · 4 Comments · Art and Culture
