Keeping My Fingers Crossed for 2010!

Despite my best efforts, I couldn't score permission to come help Poets & Writers celebrate its 35th birthday last night; apparently it was the literati event of the season and there hadn't been spare room on the guest list for anybody in ages. Gawker snuck in with a camera, though, and if I play my One Ring Zero CD while I look at the pictures, it's almost like being there--if I were nursing a drink in the corner because I was too shy to engage in literary chitchat, that is.
