hi james, just found your blog through clicking around... i loved reading your analysis of sf, having grown up there (upper haight) and moved to new york 9 years ago. i miss sf but have such mixed feeling about it. good luck with your move to nyc. if you don't like harlem, try brooklyn...
hi again yeah, i moved to brooklyn last year after being in manhattan for 8 years. so many people live in brooklyn now, it thought of less and less as an alternative/2nd choice to manhattan, and more a place of it's own. brooklyn is so big, and each area is different... there's williamsburg = hipster central. and i'm in fort greene which is very artsy too but has more of a cultural and age mix than williamsburg.
I am not even going to have this conversation with you through blog comments. Let me take some time out of my busy last-day-of-work schedule tomorrow and send a proper message. Feel free to pre-empt me with one of your own!

James! I was going to email you about your living situation when I found the link to your blog. When do you move into your adult dorm? Did student housing let you down?

Nice words about my chapbook "9/16/10," cited as a notable story in Best American Nonrequired Reading 2011:
"Spit out in tense, hypnotic prose, James Yeh's Taiwanese-American kaddish can be read in the time it takes you to brush your teeth, but I'm going to bet you don't forget its sadness or its post-Brooklyn dread for a long, long time."
--Ed Park, author of Personal Days/a founding editor of the Believer "Yeh’s quiet meditation on death will sneak in and throw up a window in your soul with its intensity."
--Deb Olin Unferth, author of Revolutionand Minor Robberies
--Julia Jackson, Electric Literature's The Outlet blog
"An eight-page auto-bio zine that tells the story about James Yen [sic] being nervous about playing a show at a bar. A lot of it is about loneliness. There are only ten copies so I don’t know why I’m reviewing it."

Going to be picking some of them with her today.
And yes she does, but she's older than she looks in the picture, if that makes any sense, one judging amother's age from the back of their head.
