I'm trying to figure out if one long post or several short posts are better -- and settling on coast-specific posts as an easy way to organize. So here goes the West Coast.
1. SFistas: I will be in your beautiful city from 9/10 through 9/16 for Updraft-related events.
These are:
- 9/10 - Why There Are Words - Sausalito - [link] 7pm
- 9/12 - Writers With Drinks - [link] 7:30pm
- 9/15 - Borderlands for Greg Van Eekhout's book launch [link]
(btw, the August Writers With Drinks is going to be amazing too)
Nanita is kindly hosting me and, in addition to the public events, she's opening her house to a Buffista Brunch on Sunday, 9/13 from 12-3. I'm thinking for headcount RSVPs would be a good idea. More soon on that.
2. SD-istas - I'll be here from 9/16 to 9/20, and at Mysterious Galaxy with Greg Van Eekhout and Adam Rakunas on 9/19 at 2pm.
3. Seattleistas - I'm here from 9/20-9/22, reading at University Bookstore on 9/21 (more info to come). Would love to see you.
East Coast is more complicated. Philly-area-istas, I should have you on the book of face, but if not, ping me if you want to know what's happening.
1. Atlanta & DragonCon-istas - 9/4-97 - Going (AMYCH)? come find me! I have a reading, signing, and a panel each at DC and at the Dekatur Book Festival.
2. DC-istas - 9/24 - I'm speaking at the Library of Congress on at noon. Hopefully staying at Sparky's that night (I should ask her, hmmmm...)
3. Baltimore-istas - 9/25-27 - Baltimore Book Festival Weekend - [link] - schedule's not live yet, but I'm around all weekend and would love to see you.
4. NYC-istas - still firming up early October, but on 10/21, I'll be reading at KGB bar and hanging out a bit in the city.
5. MA, CT, VT, & ME-istas second & third weeks in October, it looks like I'm heading your way... details coming soon but would love to visit with you, schedule permitting.
I know I'm forgetting something....
Writers with Drinks sounds very enticing.
Marked to add to my calendar!
ETA: Sox, your Borderlands link is a little broken
Oh, foo. I'm so bummed that Sox will be here when I'm in England. Darn it.
Sox,
The little guy permitting, Gary and I will try to hit the Baltimore Book fest. We've been there in previous years.
SD-istas - I'll be here from 9/16 to 9/20, and at Mysterious Galaxy with Greg Van Eekhout and Adam Rakunas on 9/19 at 2pm.
W00t! Buffista in my town! Mysterious Galaxy is my fave!
And ION, my niece is getting married November 7 in Seattle. I've never been to Seattle, so I'm hoping to make a long weekend of it and do some sightseeing as well. Still in the very early planning stages, but wanted to give you guys a head's up to start thinking of tour recs (and give a head's up to locals that depending on $ [and whether or not my mother is able to make the trip], I might be in need of couch/spare room/rollaway bed). Very excited to see your fair city!
