Events

A friend has just written asking why I had not told her about a reading.  Probably because it seemed like an imposition.  At any rate, these are the events I know of (you'll notice that I am a bit hazy on times, will post these when I know what they are):

You and Sam Lipsyte in the same Q&A? My bells of booknerd enthusiasm are ringing.

How late do you think the pub crawl will run on Saturday night? There's no chance that I'll be able to make it to the Lounge at Dixon Place by 8:15, but I might be able to sneak in quietly around 9:00. Should I try to get there, or will I just end up interrupting the event and missing most of the activity?

I think it goes on till 10. That is, I'm not sure exactly how long the enactment is meant to be, but in any case I would be there until 10 along with anyone who felt like having a drink and talking.
