readings in eatontown, nj (6/23) and los angeles (7/22)
17 June 2010
As part of the SUMMER OF EVERYTHING IS WRONG WITH ME, I’ve got some updates on two readings/signings that I wanted to pass along to y’all.
The first (which I’ve already pimped to those of you on the Facebook and the Twitter) will be on Wednesday, June 23 at 7pm at the Borders in Eatontown, NJ. This one could be interesting because I’m taking the day off, renting a car, driving to Eatontown (which is only about 30 miles away from NYC on the Jersey shore), dicking around on the beach, and then doing the reading. So at the very least, I will be sunburned and possibly even drunk (note: I will not be drinking and driving, which is no laughing matter, but I will make a friend come with me and drive me around – these are the perks of being a real-live author). The other good news is that I don’t really know anyone that lives in or near Eatontown, so if you come out for this reading, there’s a good chance that I don’t read from a podium but actually sit next to you, look deep into your eyes, and read you a story about my tiny penis. If this isn’t just about the perfect way to spend a summer evening, well, I dare you to find a better way.
The second will be on Thursday, July 22 at 7pm in Los Angeles, at the Borders in Sherman Oaks. Ah, yes – I’m returning to my old stomping grounds (even though I’ve been back, like, three times since I moved away). That should be a fun one, and if at any time you hear booing, know that it is most likely coming from my agent, Joel (or, for that matter, his wife, Liz). I’d like to say that if you make it to the reading in Sherman Oaks, there will be tons of celebrities in attendance, a veritable who’s who of the Hollywood scene, but again, probably mostly Joel and Liz. And my buddy Dan, mouthing the words “You suck” at me from his seat. Then we’ll all get drunk after and high-five each other. Again, just a perfect summer evening.
I expect to have details finalized in short order for Cleveland, Chicago and Milwaukee, and I’m still waiting on NYC and Boston, and eventually Denver and Seattle (and possibly DC).
And thank you all again for making the book a success. Please keep recommending it to friends, writing about it on your blogs, status updates, Tweets, etc, and generally pimping the shit out of it. And remember, it’s summer! So when a friend asks, “Hey, do you know of any good beach reads?,” feel free to say, “Why, yes – yes I do.”
