July 24th (and Beyond!)
Well...the picture's getting clearer.
July 24th is when the book drops. When you wake up on July 24th, you'll be able to see my grill and hear my words within the pages of The Washington Post Express. If you're in The District, that article will inform you that you'll be able to find me at 7PM at Olsson's Books (Dupont store). I'll be signing copies of the book. If we get crafty about it, we'll have a gallery show. I have plenty of original art from the book.
What will I be doing before the 24th? There's my BBQ, on the 20th. You may get an invite for that. I will likely spend the morning of the 24th riding the train aimlessly, hoping that someone recognizes me while reading their copy of The Washington Post Express. I will sign a book for them and invite them to the Olsson's event. When they ask me, "Where are you off to?" I will make up some story about going to speak to my a) agent, b) publicist, or c) stylist despite the fact that a) he lives in LA, b) she lives in NY, and c) I style myself. Badly. I will likely get a massage in the afternoon since I have a left over gift certificate from my birthday. I will then crack open my bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue and allow myself one drink. I will then go to the signing, make note of who shows, and forever scorn those who don't come.
And then what of the 25th?
San Diego. I am off to San Diego.
And what do I have planned for San Diego?
Well, I need to have some face time with A LOT of people (so, if you want to schedule some of my time, do it now - otherwise, see you at the bar). I need to pitch some new projects. I need to gauge how Postcards: California Dreaming is coming along. I need to buy drinks for a lot of folks. And, of course, I need to promote Postcards: True Stories That Never Happened.
How?
I will have a signing at the Random House booth. I will be on the Villard panel. I will have a MEGA signing (expect around ten people) at a retailer booth...details being worked out. There will be...fun little things...all over the convention. The bars, the food courts, the coffee stands. If you find one of these things, you should pick it up, take it home, scan it, and email it to me. I will be your friend. We will have some items up for grabs at the CBLDF auction. A super-signed copy of the book and some original art. There are no times yet for anything, details are still being detailed, but that's why this is just a preview.
Who from Postcards will be at SPX? Stuart Moore, Michael Gaydos, Phil Hester, Tom Beland, Antony Johnston, Matt Kindt, James Powell, Jason Copland, Joseph Bergin III, Gia-Bao Tran, Micah Farritor, Tony Fleecs, Rick Spears, Rob G, and Bob Tinnell. A
What will you get if you manage to get a copy of the book signed by all of those folks? Props. And, where I come from, props are all you need.
And what of August?
Nothing. Yet. Surgery - I need to get elective surgery in August. I will be at SPX - that is the only thing that is certain. And my surgery. And a wedding and a Christening I must attend.
