Ground Zero!
It had to happen.
It had to.
Like any good book, there has to be an ending. --Okay, maybe the Good part is an exaggeration. We will just call it a story.
I am leaving my position as Event Coordinator with Olsson's. I will wait here a few seconds while you pick your collective jaws up off of the ground. . . You ready? Okay.
I have taken a position with a web marketing firm in Bethesda doing the same sort of things I am doing now except over there things will be a little different. Instead of juggling events for five different stores, I am going to juggle the projects that come in and make certain they go to the right designers and get completed before deadline. We will see how it goes.
I wanted to thank everyone who has read along as I typed my drivel over the last, however-many-months. I have had the chance to work with some of the best people in the industry and have made some great friends. What other job could I have hung out with famous authors, worked alongside great teams of publicists and publishers, made contacts into all the media and above all, been supported by the greatest team of booksellers around. A special thanks to the Olsson's Infantry, working out there on the front line, hosting the events, dealing with the people that bring 200 copies of the night's book that they purchased on Amazon and smiling the whole time. Thanks Everyone!
Okay, enough sentimental crap. There is an event!
Anyone remember that song by Helen Reddy, "I am woman. . "? A banner of the early feminist movement? Ever wonder what happened to her? You can ask her yourself when she is at the Old Town store on the 26th of April! I know it is Saturday and you might prefer to be out mowing grass or some other silly thing , but stop by Old Town, say hello to Andrew and Sarah and the rest of the hooligans there and take in a bit of Helen Reddy. Should be good times although she isn't going to be singing. Just talking.
Okay kids. It is a short one this week. Thank you all for reading, thanks for coming out to the events and if you are an industry person, thank you for letting me book the events. I am not sure if this is a complete goodbye. Elizabeth left years ago and she still writes. Who knows, you might just see me around next week talking about more events that I booked. I have stuff on the calendar up until July. I can talk all day about nothing . . . Okay, I am going.
Oh, if anyone is buying drinks, I will be at Dupont on Friday night for the Min Jin Lee reading. But only if you are buying.
