Los Angeles, I give you a hard time all too often. It really is undeserved. I actually am pretty fond of your city, and shoot if any of you reading this want to offer me a job in Los Angeles, I would even consider taking it. Now don’t anybody get excited (mom) it’s really not going to happen I’m just throwing it out there.
If you read about my week in the SF events post you already know last week was a blast. So I’ll spare you all the redundancy.
On a completely separate note I liked to direct all of you readers to www.gravity.com. A start-up that several of my friends are currently working on. I’ve been having a lot of fun on it and if you’d like to get in on the beta testing be sure to fill out the form on the webpage. If you want more details feel free to ask me or check out this article in TechCrunch.
Alright, enough stalling here ya go Los Angeles. Have some fun this week.

@ 7pm
- Audrey Niffenegger, author, will be signing and discussing her newest book Her Fearful Symmetry at Skylight Books. You may not know Ms. Niffenegger from this book but you undoubtedly do from her book turned movie, The Time Traveler’s Wife. While I did enjoy Time Traveler’s I’ve heard the movie is pretty subpar and then after I read Ken Grimwood’s Replay I chose to completely forget about Time Traveler’s. Let’s talk about her latest book Fearful Symmetry though. I may not have read it but it has gotten marginal reviews across the board. It’s basically another love story, I think that pretty much says it all. If your a fan of her writing, you’ll probably enjoy it and seeing her in person.

@ 7pm
- Elizabeth Gilbert, author, will be speaking and discussing her new book Committed at All Saints Church in Pasadena. But don’t be fooled this event is being put on by Vroman’s and will cost you $26.95 plus tax, which includes a copy of the book. I really don’t to go into how I feel about Ms. Gilbert and I am more than distressed that she’s actually written another book that takes off where her last book (if I dare call it that) leaves off.
Saturday, January 30th
@ 2pm
- Patricia Polacco, children’s book author, will reading at the Los Angeles Central Library. I know, I don’t usually mention children’s book author but I thought I would this time.
Sunday, January 31st
@ 4pm
- Robert Crais, author, will be talking about and signing copies of his most recent work The First Rule at Book’em Mysteries in South Pasadena. I guess this book is one of his many in a series of his with the same main character. If your into mystery books, you already know more than I do.
