To relive those moments or for the first time here are the videos. I had to chop them up to fit them onto Youtube. The Other Room 7 and Alan Halsey reading in April 2008 are still being transferred but are on their way for sure soon. This is the reading order of the night. For some reason Sean’s first part starts 1. 24 minute or so into the tape so roll forward.
