Someone hates me. Who is responsible for #FCJR ?

August 6, 2012

I recently learned of a book called FCJR which seems to be an expose of sorts. While I don’t know for sure what FCJR stands for (Finally, Cancer Just Rebelled, Faulty Car Jams Roadway, Flatus Causes Jocular Resentment), I can only assume it’s something bad. Based on the reviews of this book, I’m starting to think that I’m a pretty shitty guy. The book, written by someone who calls himself Anonymous (I think it’s Greek) was brought to my attention recently during an episode of Booked Podcast. Starting with minute 47:30, episode 99, you can hear the hosts, Robb Olson and Livius Nedin, describe the book as an expose that elicits some pretty hostile reactions. I haven’t yet read the book. I’m not sure I want to. But, for no logical reason, I’m including a bunch of links below to help you find out more about it. Booked Episode 99,…

New story, “The Lipidopterist,” read live at The Meshuggah Cafe, recorded by Booked Podcast

March 15, 2012

The fellows over at Booked Podcast are gents in the truest sense of the word. By that I mean they are whimsical placcards on the bathroom doors of bar restrooms. Also, they happen to be amazingly active participants in the podcast and reading communities, so much so that they are dedicating many future episodes of their podcast to live readings as recorded during the 2012 AWP Conference in Chicago, IL. Though my reading, done at The Meshuggah Cafe in St. Louis on February 28th, wasn't officially part of the AWP Conference (which started February 29th in Chicago), the entire week blends for me into a single mess of drink, friends, and drunk friends. This recording captures the first time I had read "The Lipidopterist" out loud in front of an audience. All-in-all, I think it worked. Have a listen, then check out Booked Podcast for more.

Booked Podcast. Noir at the Bar. The Velvet Podcast.

January 28, 2012

I’ve been non-stop busy the past few weeks. I feel as though I’ve done nothing, as my to-do list never shrinks. But somehow, as I look back, all that I felt never happened, is done. Here’s a few things: The wonderful Robb Olson and Livius Nedin at Booked Podcast did a full episode about my work, splitting time with my two newest books, I Didn’t Mean to be Kevin and As a Machine and Parts. The things these guys say, it makes me blush colors of red never before blushed by humans. Listen to the full episode now, and be sure to stay to the end to hear Mlaz Corbier say awesome things about my awesome socks. Pablo D’Stair and I recorded another episode of The Velvet Podcast. We talked about one my recent tweets: [blackbirdpie url="https://twitter.com/calebjross/status/158648828218707968"] I hope to have the episode edited and posted within a week. As…
