So begins week three of the blogging adventure. I went to hear Percival Everitt tonight at the River City Writers Event. My sister, Susan was involved in this last year and talked it up a great deal. The writer for the evening sounded like he would be interesting and I needed to go anyway so I asked Susan to go with me.
We met up in the Central parking lot and I asked her how the food was at these events. I had just got out of a three hour philosophy class and hearing a lecture and discussion on evil for that long had made me hungry. She said the food was generally pretty good.
Upon arriving at the Fogelman Executive Center we made our way downstairs. There were very few people there yet but I did see Wendy and a couple of others from the class. It filled up pretty well a little later.
Mr Everitt was a pretty interesting speaker/writer. His readings that he gave us for the evening were rather on the dark side but I did enjoy them. And I had just had three hours of evil discussion so it fit. I liked his personality and the audience obviously liked him.
It was an nice evening and I would definitely attend more of these functions. However, the food was not that great, so don't attend on a empty stomach.

Nancy. I went on Monday also. I enjoyed it and it was something different. Some of the things he wrote made me think. I think that his writings were very interesting. I was so busy that night too that I did not even eat dinner. I did not get to have the food but I did have some punch. Well I cannot wait until the next one.
Didn't get to hear him read on Monday, but I enjoyed the interview on Tuesday. I hated that I had to go to Algebra class because I wanted so badly to participate in the Q & A session afterwards. Very well spoken and funny man.
