Pile of books and stickers with an apron.
Yesterday’s #awp bookfair haul includes @tacobellquarterly.org ‘s print edition and an apron from The American Scholar’s prize wheel! And some narwhal tattoos!
My favorite AWP story so far is I stepped in dog shit while walking with my editor and she didn't miss a beat when she told me to "just walk it off" in an authoritative but friendly voice because she is totally used to trudging through shit with me
Come get them from us while they're still only $5! #AWP, we're in a spooky corner, just turn the dark bend and walk into the wall and that's where you'll find us! T704
We are @tacobellquarterly.org now.
Love this! Nice to meet you!
Love it! Nice meeting you!
"We choose where the hole goes" I'm inspired and can't wait to say hi
The first print issue of tbq
A flyer for the 13th annual rock and roll reading
A description of a panel at AWP
AWP repost, find us @ T704 hanging out w/ Bullshit Lit! $5 copies of a special print issue while they last, I'm on a panel Friday if you're into that kind of freaky shit, AND if you're around early tomorrow, I'm going to tell you exactly what's wrong with me at Metro Baltimore.
This is so good
yeah. I know it feels like you should just be able to write the perfect words first time. if you go slow enough, you should be able to just find each next perfect word.
but it's not like that. it's like a bicycle. too slow & you fall. it has to be in motion even awkwardly to get where you're going.
The literal worst version of it has to exist first if you're ever going to get anywhere, so you might as well embarrass yourself by writing it
I want to repost this because it’s so brilliant.
John Lennon with a giant spoonful of spaghetti
I'm pretty sure that was also the dream sequence in the Beatles Magical Mystery Tour
Don't feel bad, I was randomly in Disney World that week watching my children lick the handrails
Just write it down. If it's meant to become book it will become book!
Oof what a scam!
I call my credit card my offshore account. It helps me disassociate from the pain a little bit when I say I'm charging it to the offshores
See you in 4 days AWP people
Incredible title
TBQ's influence reverberates throughout the literary community. From the latest +doc —
I started tbq because I still wanted to participate in my passion for creative writing even though it's totally pointless and success is impossible and I was already fucked. This is simply the point where you whisper live más
"...stumbling around an abandoned landscape of dead malls and a rotting bubba gumps looking for meaning" is accurate in describing both a literal visit to Baltimore's Inner Harbor and of life in modern America. A twofer!
7 years ago I just put out the Taco Bell Quarterly in a word document! I made it for free and put it out and no one gave me any push or permission, and if I failed, OH WELL, it's not like it was even real!
Spent the last few weeks mulling over a story idea, apparently what I really needed to do to write was pop an edible and read @tacobellquarterly.org posts.
@tacobellquarterly.org: Stop waiting around, live mas!
I’m not stoned again by the way but my advice to people is to stop waiting around for someone else to put out your thing and just do it. You can do another one after who cares. I just invented this concept.
Got re-verified after a little blip so now it's my duty as the most official looking Taco Bell account on here to report once again that eating Taco Bell makes you gay
Mine too! The gift shop is 10/10
If you're in Baltimore for AWP (or any other reason), go to the American Visionary Art Museum. My favorite museum in the world.
Yes!
BUT if the weather is nice & you just need some quick fresh air between panels or something, walk over to the floating wetlands next to the aquarium. You might see otters. Or go watch people skateboard at the skate park in Rash Field. Go sit near Mr. Trash Wheel & enjoy the clean water.
