I was having an argument with an arrogant man re. the exploitation of local emerging artists for personal gain. You were sitting next to us reading and while you didn't say anything, your eyes were enough. Thank you for looking up when you did. Every time I thought I was going crazy ("Maybe he's right, and I'm not understanding something...") I would see you roll your eyes in his direction, and knew to keep pushing back. You reminded me that I wasn't just standing up for myself in that situation, but that I was also standing up for other artists and writers. I just want to thank you here, and apologize for disrupting your reading.
