Kelly and I wandered down to Powell’s for our third Laurie Notaro reading. She was funny as ever, in her hilariously charming over-sharing way. If you are looking for a bit of a pick-me-up any of her books of essays will do.
ps. The gallery installation behind her was incredible. A whole heap of author portraits done by two artists. I especially loved the style of Allison Bruns (the top one pictured here). She was great at capturing expression.
More pictures of the exhibit.

Very fun! The portraits behind her are a great touch. Is it odd to say that it seems like she would be fun to listen to?
I've never heard of this author before. Maybe I'll check her out. I love the portrait of Kurt Vonnegut.
