Remember the 1st one? Well, we already have 16 members, including one that looks like George Clooney, so yes, I think gangbusters applies.
And, here is #2. LA Angst.
Based on Cringe and Salon of Shame, LA Angst wants more than anything to laugh (with you) at your most embarrassing moments. Do you live in the Los Angeles area? Are you coming to visit and want to read? Email me and I’ll sign you up.
LA Angst is a monthly reading series hosted by Leah Peterson in the greater Los Angeles area on the first Thursday of each month. We gather together to read our most embarrassing, humiliating, angst ridden and otherwise absolutely wonderful writing from our youth. Every month, selected readers comb through their middle school and high school writing and pick something that represents how completely impossible it is to grow up without looking back in shame. Join us for some entertaining, therapeutic and hysterical fun!
I’ve noticed that most people feel drawn to either one group or the other. Is it weird that I love both?
I love both of them too. I only signed up for the one because in all of our moves, I have gotten rid of all of my…um…angst. Believe me, if I come across a box of the humiliation of my youthin the garage, I’m all over the LA Angst.
I signed up for both because despite all my moves, my angst still exists–somewhere, in one of the cartons I haven’t yet unpacked or that my mother didn’t unpack before she died seven years ago.
