Several pubs will be visited along the way, and smack in the middle you can come help me Occupy Washington Square Park as I unleash a 20 minute can of whoop-ass (i.e., read a story. A brand new story!) in front of a crowd of suspecting (y’all) and unsuspecting (everyone else) onlookers.

Eric-I’v enjoyed following your travels and your summer camp-writers conferences. Are you still planning on a visit to Giovanni’s Room in Philadelphia? Take care of yourself, Ed.Austen
Hi Ed,
Sorry for the delay. I’m still hoping to come read at Giovanni’s some time, but after a pretty busy summer I’m taking a little bit of time off before booking anything. Will let you know once I do, of course. I really appreciate your support. If you’re on Facebook, please friend me!
