The Tumblr Reads event was fun and crowded and loud and I lost my damn voice. But mostly it made me think of “I’m Losing My Edge” by LCD Soundsystem:

I’m losing my edge.

I’m losing my edge to the Internet seekers who can tell me every member of every good group from 1962 to 1978.
I’m losing my edge.

I’m losing my edge to the art-school Brooklynites in little jackets and borrowed nostalgia for the unremembered eighties.

I’m losing my edge to better-looking people with better ideas and more talent.
And they’re actually really, really nice.

Here you can see everyone work their internet realness.

This stop-action vid gives a great sense of what it was like on Friday night. In fact, henceforth, I think this will officially replace my codeine-addled memory of the event.

When I shoot an event, before I start deleting and editing, I like to take all the photos and flip through them quickly to see the event as a whole. I recently started making videos of it. So here is Tumblr Reads at Housing Works.
