Great night, fun event: BJ Robbins, my agent was there, I got to be on stage with my good friend Tod Goldberg, and . . . and there was a student from my grad workshop back in Boulder there, even! (AWP started the next day). Here’s Tod and me:
Great seeing Trish again, too. Last time was our panel at SDCC:
Then afterwords it was hanging with friends until we shut a place down. After which, I managed to remember to get my hat, but . . . forgot my bag of pens and junk. First time ever to do that, all these tours, all these many events and visits &etc. But? Evonne at the B&N was on the case: she retrieved the bag, overnighted it to me. At which point . . . UPS lost it. But? They found it! So I’ve got my pens and stamps, and my cool Michener Ctr. small-tote-with-zippertop (zipper makes all the difference).
Anyway, I waited until two weeks after to do these digests for Missoula and LA, so probably didn’t find a lot of stuff. But, what I did find? Friends on the road. And that’s what it’s really about.
