Noir at the Bar last night at Yonder in Hillsborough, NC, where I got to share the stage with folks like Jill McCorkle and the mighty S.A. Cosby.
Also, I won the traditional contest as to who could drop the most F-bombs in their story with 19. Life goals!

Bought these in Athens in February at a charity auction. Spent all year afraid of fucking up hanging them. Finally put them up today, ‘cause the DBTs and Jason Isbell reunited last night on Colbert.

Reading a ghost story in the cemetery at Mystic Farm & Distillery last night, and I got paid in bourbon for my troubles.
