Nice event last night at the Center for Fiction in Brooklyn with Brendan Jay Sullivan (the well-dressed gentleman at right below). Thanks to all who attended, including veteran blogfolk AmoebaStampede and Meanie the Blue. Tonight at 7:30 I'll be at the Free Library of Philadelphia; if you're in the area, come on out. Afterward we can run up the art museum steps, Rocky-style, and then suffer cardiac arrest.

So if you're in the Brooklyn area and have nothing else to do and would like to go see an event at the Brooklyn Center for Fiction featuring me and Brendan Jay Sullivan, this is your opportunity!
