Hey friends! With Booksweet now in new and capable hands, I am looking for work. FT or freelance, ideally but not necessarily in books or activism sectors. I have done a bit of everything in publishing, longest track record with writing, communications, & sales. Let me know if I can be of service!

Literally just now, before reading this, because I had that “oh yeah” moment of remembering it all after zoning out.

And then I gave Jason the real one. It was an alias & didn't say EV on it, but he knew who had signed it. Never saw him so happy, lol. Anyway, we lost touch over the yrs, but I'm imagining him watching THE BEAR right now with all of the kitchen lyfe and Pearl Jam and absolutely VIBING on it. (6/6)

I was so excited that the cat was out of the bag. JAson ended up being the one who cooked for EV simply based on where he was stationed, so he kept the ticket as a memento. But it was my job to have guests sign their room service bills. So I printed a duplicate to turn in that night... (5/x)

We had an open front line that was visible to the whole restaurant, and the door to the other building was literally 3 feet from Jason's station on the line. So all this work to keep him in the dark, and then Vedder just walks right by him, lol. He was SHOOK. (4/x)

I pick up, announce myself, he tells me that I have a beautiful name, and proceeds to be the most charming and gracious famous person I ever waited on (we had a lot come thru). He even remembered me (or pretended to) on a return visit. But to get to his room one had to pass thru the restaurant (3/x)

Jason was my boy. I was really tight with the whole line, more so than I was w/ the rest of the FOH staff. Let me tell you, knowing that I was talking room service to the whole band in their respective rooms and NOT telling Jason was incredibly hard, lol. So EV places an order... (2x)

Years ago I worked w/ a cook, Jason, who was OBSESSED with Pearl Jam. Played them constantly in the kitchen. I did room service there, 1 night I found out that Pearl Jam was actually staying w/ us. We were always private about celebs, but the edict here was especially DO NOT TELL JASON (1/x)
