Well, I've always considered something where I don't take any knowledge away from it trash reads (or fun reads, whatever..). As for other events, unfortunately there aren't anymore up here--I believe she was at Cody's in SF last night, and then she treks down to Southern CA for an event tomorrow and Wednesday, I believe.

The good news is that she really likes to talk to her fans, so even if you couldn't make it at the begining, she will most likely be there until closing or close to--my guess is she will be there until at least 9, likely longer (judging from her event a few years ago). I know its probably a long drive for ya, but she is really quite cool, and worth a meet. She will sign 3 books (pernalized, the other 2 autographed) per person--we've got a ton of mass markets at the store, plus copious quantities of her new one in hard cover. Maybe I'll see ya there!
