The Human Spirit Is Alive.

WRRRROCK ON was insanely rad.

Thanks to the generous support from the coolest indie publishers -- Chin Music, Coffee House, Exterminating Angel, Featherproof, Seven Stories, Small Beer, Tin House, Tyrant Books, Unbridled Books, and Verso -- as well as the amazing support from everyone who showed up and walked through the door, we helped raise $3,750 for Girls Write Now.

We couldn't have done it without the help from Care Bears on Fire and Japanther. Seriously, the two bands are, like, the greatest . . . ever.

And big ups to Joshua Mohr, who flew in from SF to emcee the event (!).

A good, beautiful time, and a grand bear-hug of thanks to everyone involved. Seriously, today was amazing. And I'm so happy.

We have such great video from the event, once I get home I'll be sure to post her on up here.
