1) My buddy Laurie Frankel is a guest on the new talk show–Tyra Bank’s Show today (October 13th). She is billed as the “Breakup Expert”–so set your Tivo folks and catch this show because you won’t want to miss it.

2) Got this notice from my pal Mark:

If you’re in SF this Saturday, here’s something to do.

LitCrawl is a huge multi-venue event, part of the annual LitQuake literary fest. In three successive time blocks, dozens of writers and listeners throng bookstores, cafes and bars along Valencia St.

I’ll be taking part at 5:00 pm in the erotica-themed reading, with other Cleis Press authors Molly Weatherfield, Violet Blue, and Carol Queen, at Good Vibrations, 603 Valencia St. Sort of early in the evening for erotica, but there we are.

And a good friend, Katia Noyes, will be in the female authors-themed reading at 8 pm at the Lone Palm tavern, 3394 22nd Street off Guerrero, with Meg Waite Clayton, Micheline Aharonian Marcom, Bharati Mukherjee, Cornelia Nixon, and Sarah Stone.
