I've only been in Salem for four months, so it is likely that we did not pass each other in the street during your visit. The old one is grey.

What color of couch is it? These things matter. I was at the Willamette book store and stopped by the lovely Tea Party earlier this year. Tempting! What color of couch is it? These things matter.

I picked it up at AWP. And hoping to review for the lit journal Main Street Rag :) Best, Jessie I’m hard at work (or hardly working as I find your website to stalk you) on a review of “Couch” which I just finished reading over the weekend, which will, hopefully, have people outside of the Pac-NW reading your fun novel!

Bet you can't get anything like it outside of Seattle. I hear you’ve got a little joint called Starbuck’s that makes excellent coffee. Bet you can’t get anything like it outside of Seattle.

Actually, that's totally not true, but I really want it to be true, so can't that make it a little bit true then? What food do we have to our name out here? We stole espresso from Italy. Clam chowder from New England. There's no Oregon Bourbon or Portland cheese steak or Seattle baked beans. Nobody talks about Spokane strip steak. We don't have a Gumbo or Jumbalaya. We're not known for our cheese! Sigh. I move to appropriate the cinnamon roll as our own!
