F*ck Bubble Episode 6: Ham & Eggs in Connecticut

F*ck Bubble

This episode, I'll be reading the sixth chapter, To the West Coast, from my non-fiction manuscript, F*ck Bubble, to my friend Ham & Eggs who was here with me on the Connecticut shoreline.
To the West Coast documents a period of time, roughly 2011 to 2015, when I saw little if any of Mack and would only occasionally interact with him over the phone. Slowly though we began building up what felt like, perhaps for the first time, a legitimate friendship. Mack had moved to San Francisco and seemed like a healthy new version of himself. I moved my mom and mentally ill brother out of increasingly dystopian Florida with me to LA. The San Remo incident behind us, Mack was proving again to be a steady and supportive friend during a heady but creatively productive time in my life.
In addition to the reading, Ham & Egg, who I met dance-floor tangential when I was twenty-one at Avalon nightclub in Boston, discuss writing poorly reviewed gay porn, Airbnb near-death experiences and disgruntled Brooklyn flatmates. A super-relaxed conversation on what was a bitter cold New England day.
