I do believe this is the first time I’ve written this post away from San Francisco. It feels pretty strange. The strange factor though probably stems from the fact that I really despise the layout of apple’s keyboards (obviously using a mac to write this), is it just me or are they small? Maybe it’s me.
Furthermore, I can’t believe the year is almost over. When the year started, I was definitely feeling like “man, I hope this year zips by so I can be that much closer to my 30th birthday (sarcasm).” And now that, it’s almost 2010 it’s something more along the lines of “Sh*t, dam*, f***, the year is almost over already and I still don’t have any new years plans.” I’m not going to give you a rundown of my year so far cause that would be a little premature, there is still the whole month of December for things to get more interesting and I don’t want to jump the gun. I do think there will some good events this month, despite the fact that there were none last week. I’ll cross my fingers so long as one of you out there promises to go to at least one of the events I post in the next thirty days, deal? Great, here we go.
Wednesday, December 2nd
@ 6pm
- James Bradley, author, will be discussing and signing his latest book The Imperial Cruise at Marine’ Memorial Club and Hotel (put on by Books, Inc.). I suppose I should make it clear that Mr. Bradley is not exactly a type of author that I typically read but I know there are a lot of people out there who have enjoyed his previous works, Flags of Our Fathers and Flyboys. I did however see a copy of this book at Costco the other day and thought it looked marginally interesting. It’s historical military stuff, if you’re into it, you know what it is.
Thursday, December 3rd
@ 730pm
- Elayne Angel, uh person (I guess), will be talking about her book The Piercing Bible at Books, Inc. in the Castro. Why did I decide to let you know about this event? I don’t know, I’m still asking myself that question. Perhaps it’s because of this picture of Elayne Angel I found… you be the judge.
uh, those are tattoos not piercings...
I regrettably report to ya’ll that that’s all there is this week. It’s amazing isn’t it. In a period of several weeks a city can go from having a plethora of events to me having to let you know about a piercing book that is coming out and show you the picture of a woman, her tattoos and her crack. Oh well.
Update: My mother has confirmed that authors don’t really tour during December. Not really a huge surprise but I thought she is a credible enough source.
