My book signing at Diesel Books in Oakland yesterday was one of the best I've ever done. I'm usually a bit leery or at least cautious about bookstore events. They range all over the map, from a Spinal Tap-like disaster in Cleveland where literally one person showed up, to the one in Greenwich Village that got hijacked by a couple Christina Fundamentalists* who used the Q&A session to advance their own views, to some really amazing places with attentive and fun audiences. Last night was one of those.
But, as per usual with me, I forgot to bring my camera. So the actual contents of the event will be forever lost to the ages.
And speaking of ages, one of the greatest people I met last night was a woman named Lea. I know it's impolite to discuss the age of a lady. So I'll just say she was well beyond what's usually thought of as my target demographic of young punk rockers. But she was so sweet and kind and expressed such a love for my books I almost felt like I might be doing some little bit of good. Or at least providing some quality entertainment value. Thank you Lea and thank you everyone who showed up last night!
*I only caught this type-o after I posted the blog. But I'm leaving it in because it amuses me to imagine what Christina Fundamentalists might be. Obviously I meant to write "Christian Fundamentalists."
