See ya

For the next 10 days I'll be here:



(If I don't get back to you today, it will just have to wait. Sorry.)

We promise not to bore you, befuddle you, or drone on tooooooooo long.

Bonus: We do not read in "the poetry voice." Unless we are kidding.

Jennifer "El" Knox & I are starting to book some readings for the fall when our new books are out. Probably not as many as last time. That was nuts (but the fun kind of nuts).

Confirmed so far: Buffalo & Brooklyn (at least twice). Also Jen will be going to DC & Tallahassee.

We be driving, so allllllllll that distance to Buffalo would be better with more than one gig.

Anybody in Toronto or Saratoga Springs or Ithaca or upthataway wanna play, say late Oct?

Anybody else, anywhere else?

Holla, puhlezze. [Email in upper right.]

You know you're a nerd...

...when you spot an "unattended" bag of jumbo binder clips in the office and you get SO EXCITED.

I am *slammed* this week. But vacation starts Friday.

I have a voluminous post of more Summer Reading half-prepared for the DIY blog, so watch that space, I guess. Hopefully I'll get it up there before I head out, because...I WILL NOT BE ON THE INTERNET FOR 10 ENTIRE DAYS. Ahhhhhhh.

If you have a hotmail.com account & have emailed me...

...recently, I may not have received your message.

The domain was accidentally added to my Blocked Sender list by an overzealous spam filter.

I'm not sure how long this was going on--maybe two weeks? Anything sent Friday or later has come through.

If your message was important, please resend.

Thanks (& sorry for the inconvenience)!

& speaking of pussies

(Details here. It's amazing.)
