The reason the food is terrible is because they have a new "chef" every two months - they keep getting fired for giving people food poisoning and knocking up waitresses. :) I used to work at that restaurant.

Tim Callahan got involved because of it, and I think Erin Floriani too? But yeah, there were a lot of people at that party and I doubt I ever saw any of them again. And I like the idea that Amy Hempel absolutely refuses to read in Massachusetts; I kind of wish it was true, that she had some kind of blood feud with the whole state.

And though I don't do much Word St. stuff lately, I did get involved originally because of the Eggers/Shepard reading. And I have a suspicion I may know who the girl was, but I could be completely wrong. Her friend’s name was Paola.
