Here is what March 16th looked like at Opposable Thumbs

Chris and Amanda read their fascinating collaboration.
There were handouts.
Here are photos of some of the crowd. I wish I would have caught everybody on film.
We had fun!



Amanda brought a bowl of chocolates.
It was a wonderful kick-off for Imaginary Press Reading Series. Thanks so much to Chris and Amanda, Ed and Gerry (above), everybody who attended, and me mum and dad for the gift of the camera!
