I'm going to be chatting with Marissa Lingen about her brand new book, A DUBIOUS CLAMOR, at Moon Palace on Thursday, 6 p.m. I do believe Marissa is bringing cake. Excited to see some of you there!
Some of my neighbor friends were surprised to hear that the nervous feeling of "nobody will come and also there won't be enough food" is not just for throwing "regular" parties, it's also for book launch parties. But it sure is. Oh geez. It sure is. So...Thursday evening at 6:00 at Moon Palace....
