My friend Kathy lives in Richmond and has been really kind to let me stay with her in the past. I had been hesitant to make plans for Bubbles Con because the same week Lynda Barry was also going to be in Richmond and I had made mental plans to go and see her for the day. So it was between Bubbles Con and Lynda Barry. The choice seems obvious, but then i remembered how much I had enjoyed reading Bubbles while Iwas in Portland— I should go check out what all the hullabaloo was about.
I got off the bus at Main Street station. Really don’t know where i am but i realize i can just walk down and get to the main library. I brought my vivienne bag and my north face backpack. I’m only staying a couple days so i feel like i overpacked.

And I guess it makes him pretty fake, but it’s like being an actor. You have to embody the words and give them feeling.
I’m always put at ease talking to Kathy, she’s just one of those people where it feels like there’s no expectations and I don’t even mind small talk.

I didn’t want to go to Richmond at all this year because I wanted to prioritize cities and fests that I hadn’t been before but then
But that’s the great thing about NOT living in Richmond and being embarrassing in front of all these cool Richmond people— I never have to see them again. If I lived in Richmond they would literally live in my neighborhood and id have to show my face whether I’d like to or not.

If i don’t want to i never have to come back to RIchmond ever again. I’m considering it honestly,
