Tonight I was one of the three finalists competing in the finale of the L Magazine Literary Upstart Competition.

I did not win.

But that’s okay! Because the winner was this lady, and her story was terrific. They’re going to run it in the magazine, so keep picking up the L and look out for something by Debora Kuan, because it was pretty fab.

Some marvelous and beautiful and very patient people took me out for a great dinner at Wild Ginger immediately afterward, and the vegetarian bibimbap was amazing, and that also helped soothe the burn of not winning.

If past events are any precedent, the L Magazine website will be full of pictures from last night, so stay tuned for me looking spiffy (I hope) in my kamikaze robot shirt. Here’s a teaser, for now.
