Wood reads at the Crunch, 20th August 2009 (33MB mp3, 35.58)

So the reading last Thursday went spectacularly well, as we sort of knew it would, it being a home crowd and all (being a big fish in the puddle is really under-rated and actually brilliant, as long as you never forget it’s a puddle). Someone wrote a poem inspired by me, which was one of the most affirming things that has happened to me for a long time.

The set list (and starting points):

Memory Sticks: “She isn’t supposed to remember” (1.53); “She used to fidget” (7.30);
From Jet Pack: “Lethe and Mnemosyne” by Chuck Wendig and “A Loaded Gun in the Mailbox” by Will Hindmarch, read by Jennifer Johnson (12.15);
The Dyson Song (18.27);
Ninja Postman (23.22);
But we have to start talking in code (25.30);
Dan and me (26.04);
This could be beautiful (31.24);
Encore (honestly, completely unplanned): A plea (32.40)

[edit] My indefatigable web space provider tells me that rather than dump you at some nasty ad-spewing free uploading service, we have the means to host the mp3 here. So now the mp3 is here at my own site, at your convenience. Your best bet is to right-click and “save link as”. But you know that.
