Every event will be filled with awesomeness. Also: signings of books.
I want to try something new on this tour. My favorite part of traveling is eating new food, but when I go on tour I usually end up eating take-out burritos in my hotel room, because eating alone is boring and takes all the fun out of it. This is doubly ridiculous given that my signings are usually full of friendly people who love to talk about books and writing and such. So: what I want to do this time is work out some lunches and dinners with all you awesome folks. You show me your favorite restaurants, we'll yak about whatever, and we'll have a grand old time. Note that this is all dutch–I'm not asking you to buy me food, just join me. Sound awesome? Let's do it! Post here or contact me through dan AT fearfulsymmetry DOT net,and we'll start setting this up. Note that if you live in Seattle (April 1-3), Portland (April 4-7) or Minneapolis (April 22-23) I'll be there an extra day or two not mentioned on the schedule above. Also note that dinner in San Francisco is already claimed by Seanan McGuire, who has a machete collection, so don't mess with her and/or don't wonder why I disappear halfway through the tour.
Be kind to your mother-in-law! I love that she called your wife with her concerns.
Take care.
