Gist Street 008 Published April 30, 2011 at 1280 × 960 in A Novel Graduation Story ← Previous Next → Cathy, Rich, and Ben in 2006. This was taken in James Simon’s studio at the Gist Street reading series, which means that Sherrie Flick is somewhere in the room, completely unaware that she’s going to advise Rich and Ben’s theses. Weird, huh?
