Kevin Sampsell Week (2): Smorgasboard

For day 2 of Kevin Sampsell week, I’d like to collect some various KS/A Common Pornography pornographalia from around the web and elsewhere. Below you’ll find some video, some review snippets, another excerpt from the memoir, and everything else to keep your Sampsell buzz afloat. If this turns out to be not enough, you can always peruse Kevin’s website, a free-flowing form of fun and e-orgasm. Hit it!

Kevin reads from ACP at the In The Flesh Reading Series 2-18-10

***** 5 Star review for ACP from Time Out New York: “…Sampsell shares loneliness with such intensity that his book almost defeats it—both his and yours.”

– A Sampsell short story (not in the memoir) from 52 Stories, “Jailbreak.”

Pillow Talk Episode 1: Kevin interviews our own Mike Young (produced & edited by Bryan Coffelt)

– A review of ACP on Blogcritics: “… The structure of A Common Pornography is narrative genius.”

…. and, lastly, for today, pg. 75 of A Common Pornography:

Vibrator

Dad gave me a vibrator once. Sort of oval-shaped. He gave it to me so I could wrap it and give it to Mom as a birthday present. Later, they kept it in a drawer by the bed. Then, shortly after, they slept in separate beds.

      Damnit.

      I closed up my Twitter account after some hacker invaded. In the last week I’ve had an old e-mail account and Twitter hacked. Someone (Dad?) wants me parenting, not maintaining an online presence.

      That Vibrator story is brilliant. Excited to get my copy of the book, any day now Amazon.

      Kevin also just appeared on The Bat Segundo Show. The conversation continued past midnight and included speculation on Pee Chee folders, how to organize a pornography collection, the problems of connecting with people on Facebook, speculation on football players who wear the jersey 63, and a good hour of other sudnry topics.

      When we were filming the “Pillow Talk” show, I purposely had Mike and I place fuzzy pillows in our laps to make the viewer uncomfortable. Hahahaha. I love how Bryan Coffelt did the titles and music on it.

      “Pillow Talk” is a much better name for a show than “Boner Hiding.” :)
