What's happening here? This is Jeff VanderMeer perched and balanced above his audience during his reading in Manuel's Tavern's storage closet in Atlanta on Friday. Why have a reading in a bar? In the closet? Because at least it's quiet.

Thanks to all who came out to the reading in Manuel's on Friday. Thanks for following us into an unlikely venue and being great sports about it. One day we shall tell the others that you were there that day, for the readings on the closet ladder, atop the televisions, in the back room of an ATL bar. The others won't understand, but that night wasn't meant to be understood. It was meant for stories. So: Cheers.Update: Here's are nine more images from the night, on Flickr.Got pictures from the event? Share them in the comments!
