I sort of get the feeling we must be mildly righteous. If I were a bit more religious, I might actually think that we dodged the flood-bullet for a reason. Mostly I think it is because we are four floors away from ground zero. Well, maybe Karma helped us out a little too. Thanks Karma. My ancient Gateway thanks you too. --Next time, could you maybe drip a little bit of water on it?
Right. I asked a friend what I should write about this week and her first reply was "What has made you angry this week?" I get the feeling that I am getting slightly predictable. To keep you all on your toes and to show that I have more than one trick up my sleeve, I am going to talk about a plain old event we are having.
The only question is what one. . .?
I could tell you about the Event at Dupont on the 31st. It is a double header with two, fine authors. Elizabeth Crane and Paul Fattaruso will be in town to talk about their respective books. Elizabeth's is called "You Must be This Happy to Enter" and Paul's is called "Bicycle". I have read Elizabeth's book and enjoyed it very much, and I looked at the pictures in Paul's book, they were very nice. I sent my copies of the books to Ama Wertz in the Dupont Store so she could read up on them. She looks like a responsible young lady, but she left the books in her bag on the metro and they are no more. ~Poof~ Good thing the publisher printed more than the ones I had. If you are a fan of the Bike, and you are looking to pedal on down to the Dupont on Monday night, stop in and hear the words of two tres cool, Punk Planet authors.
If Bikes and Surreal Fiction are not exactly your cuppa. . .
Maybe you are interested in Arlen Specter. Or should I say, Senator Specter? That's right. I said it. We are happy to host Senator Specter for his book, "Never Give in" about his battle with Cancer.
See? We aren't all about the dense, high-brow literature here, we love a good human interest story. In fact, we like it so much that we have Sen. Specter in our Lansburgh store on Thursday, April 3rd. If you are a fan, you should come out and show your support. I know he would like to see you and I know the store staff would like to see you too. When you don't come to the events they host, they get a little sad. Pay up your Karma-tab and get out to a bookstore event in your area. I you don't like the two I have mentioned, look back at the event listing and find one you do like. You might even dodge a flood.
