AWP Photo Dump, in Achronological Order VII:

I don’t have a joke for this one… I hit photo and not video, but it was a pretty sick rendition of “Pink Pony Club” as performed by @egjames.bsky.social and @lumchanmfa.bsky.social…

Amazing @mooncityreview.bsky.social reading last night with @laurelreview.bsky.social and Puerto del Sol. MCR was repped by @lumchanmfa.bsky.social, Naphisa Senanarong, and Svetlana Litvinchuk, who killed it!

Day one of #awp26 with @lumchanmfa.bsky.social at her first big event. There's far too much vodka here... And we're loving it!
