If a tree falls in a forest and no one's around to hear it, does it make a sound?
I haven't a clue.
What I do know is if I have a couple of book events and FORGET TO TELL PEOPLE ABOUT THEM, then it will be exactly as though they never happened.
So...
Friday, October 19, 2007 - The Book Cellar at 4736 N. Lincoln Ave in Chicago, 7:00 PM - ?
I'll be there as a part of the Chicago's Wittiest Women Writers event with the ever-so-awesome Stacey Ballis, Wendy McClure, Claire Zulkey, and Elizabeth Crane. The Book Cellar's website promises we'll regale you with quips and wisecracks all night long. All I know is I'm having drinks beforehand, so possibly slurring, shouting, and sweating Chardonnay should be included in this description. Also, and this can't be stated too emphatically, THE BOOK CELLAR SERVES DRINKS! I mean, my God, a bookstore where you can have wine? Are you kidding me? Why am I not there every day?
Saturday, October 20, 2007 - Joliet Library Author Fair at 3359 Black Road, Joliet, IL from 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM
Likely still sweating Chardonnay from the night before, I'll be there for a signing and meet-and-greet with Laura Caldwell and Stacey Ballis, who has way more self-control than me and will likely not be sweating Chardonnay. On her website, Stacey alludes to the promise of free gifts for stopping by our table at the fair. At the moment, I don't have shit for you. But perhaps I can cobble together my own free gifts from the Galley of Regrettable Hair Care Products and Old, Thick Nail Polishes currently taking up all the real estate in my bathroom cabinet.
On Saturday night, Laura, Stacey, and I will see Kathy Griffin at the Chicago Theater. I only mention this on the slim chance one of you can coerce Kathy into having drinks with us after the show.
In other news, still not done editing right now.
But I will be by this weekend.
Be afraid.
