DYK Book Launch at the Saturn Bar
The launch party for Do You Know What It Means will be taking place in the Ninth Ward at the legendary Saturn Bar, 3067 St. Claude, on February 16, from 6 to 9 PM.
There will be readings and home cooking based on the recipe chapter in the book. I'll definitely be there...my first published story, how could I not? So if you're in town, come by and say hi.
If you're not familiar with the Saturn Bar, check out this post from Chuck at the Gumbo Pages. The Saturn Bar is a neighborhood institution...sadly, owner O'Neil Broyard passed away during the post-Katrina cleanup, but his family is working hard to re-open it.
You can pre-order the book through the end of January, with all pre-order profits donated to Katrina relief organizations.

I wish I could be there too, but I can't afford the airfare and it's a bad time for Chip to make a road trip. Especially because I would love to see the Saturn Bar. Enjoy a drink for me!

I think they're trying to, but Book People's schedule is pretty full until April. If I hear anything, I'll let you know.

Ray, I think there should be some sort of book signing/reading in Los Angeles. I'm just sayin...
