Jared Leto

Friday night, I went and saw Chapter 27 at the Nuart. Both Mr. Leto and the director/writer Mr. Schaefer were there to talk afterwards. I wasn't sitting very close and my students will be very upset to learn that I wasn't forward or pushy enough to actually meet Jared Leto. But the talk was good. He was well spoken and carried himself well. And I discovered a great used book store around the corner from the theatre. I found a book of essays by Julia Alvarez (which I didn't buy - but it looked good considering I much prefer novels to short stories) and I bought an Ethan Canin novel. A bonus to the evening was that my friend Super Duper was at the theatre too. It was good to see him.
