Catherine Lacey—
Need a job or a date? Finally all your reading pays off! On the east coast, Melville House is hiring on their editorial team and on the west, the San Francisco Public Library is hosting speed dating events. A Library in Chattanooga, TN is also hosting literary dating events, but bless your heart if you live there. Let us know how beers with the Bukowski fan goes…
scenic city, ya’ll

burrrrrrrn
lets start a dating service in this comment section
who wants dinner
It’s cool for Tao Lin to turn every woman he fucks into a pseudo-celebrity but it’s not okay for Bukowski to tell the truth about the women he fucked. Huh.
Hey, hey, did you just take a shot at Chattanooga?
Shaun, meet me at Applebees, 7pm.

Seems that I did! Chattanooga is great, but its kind of easy take a shot at it.
Neither are cool.
if the chattanooga aquarium did a speed-dating, i would totally drive there for it. that place was my first exposure to true elegance….AND grandeur.
Oh don’t start back-pedaling now!
I’ve been there and the N.O. one but that’s about it for aquariums. Chattanooga has rock climbing and nachos, too.
i love taking shots at chattanooga
and whitewater kayaking.
I would visit this TN place: http://web.utk.edu/~wmorgan/Suttree/suttree.htm . A detour through Chattanooga on business and for pleasure sounds fine.
the speed dating event was awful. i was brought pynchon because i was finishing up V, and it seemed ‘easy’ or ‘obvious.’ everyone else brought tom robbins, ayn rand (srsly), murakami, and a load of self-help trash. i left early to eat at burger king and finish my book. gave my number to one person, and he invited me to ‘tango lessons.’ i never called him back.
anyway, great expectations and all that.
oops, *i brought pynchon, tho *i was brought pynchon would be pretty neat.
who is back-pedaling? to my knowledge this is my first public statement concerning chattanooga, its aquarium, or any possibility of my engaging in speed-dating
Oh yeh, I just quickly replied and confused you with C. Lacey, not a bad thing!

You should take shots IN Chattanooga. Ah Jager.

We’re going to do a speed dating thing at the library where I work. I might help ‘host’ the event. It will be fun(ny).
I would give my number to someone who showed up with Pynchon. I wonder what a good Pynchon date would be.
hehe, gross.
That Melville House salary for editors is fucking cheap. Who are they kidding.
I wish I understood why it’s not cool to tell the truth about the people one fucks. Especially if you fictionalize the way Buk did. That’s my story and I’m glued to it.
Shockingly, there’s a lot of interesting stuff happening in out here in the provinces. I’m an expat New Yorker living in rural Tennessee, not even in Chattanooga. Bless my heart. There’s maybe not a huge hipster-lit scene, but we’ve got ILL and abebooks. I’m involved in a huge radical community, and I even get laid on a regular basis—plus, I’m queer. So don’t knock it till you’ve tried it. I would never have guessed until I left New York. Just sayin’.
