Come on, give me a break, im on vacation. Dont have much to tell you right now but stayed tuned, once i get back you will wont hear the end of it from me!
Monday, April 19th
@ 8pm
– Anne Lamott, author, will be speaking as part of the City Arts & Lectures series at the Herbst Theater. I reviewed one of Ms. Lamott’s books here in my blog and know that she is pretty much an icon so I thought I would do her the honor of bringing this event to the attention of all of you. While I enjoyed her book Bird by Bird, I did point out in my review that in the here and now, everyone is speaking in robot voices. I just hope she’s received the memo.

@ 8pm
- Alice Walker, author, will have a conversation with Michael Krasny in conjunction with City Arts & Lectures at the Herbst theater. I’m not exactly completely familiar with Ms. Alice Walker but I know she is a local and has written some magnificent books such as The Color Purple. Just like Ms. Lamott, hearing Ms. Walker speak I’m pretty sure would be pretty inspirational.

@ 7pm
- Daniel Alarcon, author, will be signing and talking about his books Secret Miracle: The Novelist’s Handbook & Lost City Radio will be at Diesel Bookstore in Oakland. Secret Miracle looks as though it could be incredibly promising, especially for the likes of me. It’s basically a book teaching writers how to write, or at least that’s kind of how I’ve perceived it. I think there are a lot big name writers included in the work so check it out. As for his other book, Lost City Radio, it was apparently a huge hit in 07′ and sounds promising as well.
Wednesday, April 21st
@730pm
- Yann Martel, author, will be talking about his book The Life of Pi at The Sundance Kabuki Theater as put on by the Booksmith. I haven’t read The Life of Pi but from what I understand I should read it. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who hasn’t liked it and I’d also have to guess that you have probably already the book so for me to try and tell you anything about seems pretty ridiculous right about now.

@ ~10am
- Yours truly returns from his glorious vacation in Colombia, that is if I haven’t been taken captive or decided to stay and live out the rest of my life surrounded by beautiful women on the beaches there.
Thursday, April 22nd
@ 730pm
- RuPaul, Drag Queen & author, will be at Books, Inc. in the Castro (shouldn’t really be a surprise) doing her thing. The new book is titled Workin’ It. Either you’re into it Come onor your not. I’m going to leave it at that.
