Time it should take to consider a manicure, decide you’d rather save the money, go to the store and buy a bottle of nail polish: 1.5 hours
Time it takes Amelia Gray: 7 days

Five Things happened Friday night. I’m starting to get why having people read more than five minutes becomes appealing from a planning perspective—getting five readers together means all this buildup on the organization side for less than a half hour of listening pleasure. Dunno how the Quickies gals do it in Chicago. (Amphetamines.)
Keeping the time limit is worth it for the feeling of flash. The show featured our contest winners, so it was an extra treat to meet people and see them read at once. A couple of them told me they had never read on stage before, which was nuts with what they brought. After the reading the bands played and a girl danced with a pint of beer balanced on her head.
Speaking of readings, a must-see in Austin: Salvador Plascencia is reading at 7PM, Thurs., Feb 4 In the Joynes Reading Room, behind Carothers Residence Hall at 2501 Whitis Ave on the UT campus. The reading is free and open to the public. Call 512-471-5787 or mvalentine@mail.utexas.edu for more information.
