Before the Tattoo
Just a reminder that I am reading at McNally Jackson tonight at is THE MOMENT reading if any of you are in the area and want something exciting to do in New York SITAY. McNally Jackson is one of my favorite bookstores in the area–it’s so beautiful and has a framtastic selection. I feel super excited to be reading at this event along with are such luminaries as A.J. Jacobs, Scott Dojny, Larry Smith and SO MANY MORE. They are going to project my art behind me and everything! It will be SO COOL.
UPDATE: Cancel the airfare! I have been BUMPED from the reading–too many cooler people want to do it, so I am only doing the reading on the 26th in Greenpoint. I have been promised drinks as comeuppance, which I am taking to mean that I don’t smell. I am just too INDIE for this crowd! I’ll be there anyway as part of the BROOKLYN TEAM (and we all know who’s more LEGIT these days in literary street cred–it Brooklyn, people!). Come on down!
And speaking of The Moment and BEING SO COOL:
Last week I got many Facebook, phonecalls, and text messages on Monday afternoon because (unknown to me) my story had been DISCUSSED on TALK OF THE NATION on NPR!! Larry Smith, the editor of The Moment was a guest of Neal Conan’s and my story was one of the moments they discussed. When I heard it later I almost PASSED OUT because Neal Conan called my story “a lovely piece.” You can hear the whole segment here or just read the highlights! SO THRILLED!

Holy buckets, Summer! Talk of the Nation…that is so awesome. I’m thrilled for you. Hope your reading goes well tonight and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that someone films/videos it so the folks who live over here on the West coast can see you and your art in action!
Hey! Congrats on making NPR! Wish I could make it there to hear you read (even if it is not when or where it was supposed to be). Your reading is the one I would’ve wanted to hear. I can say with certainty that a major life changing moment for me happened when I found your blog and was inspired to start keeping a journal again. It has re-opened my eyes to a lost piece of my life. And for that, I am eternally grateful. Take care.
