Blogging

So it's like this.

We're holding this awesome book launch event in San Francisco on November 13th at 111 Minna Gallery, sponsored by The Hub at the SFJCC. We're having a Heebster panel of Cool Jews, films, He'Brew, live performances of book excerpts, world music, a dj AND a charity raffle to benefit One Family Fund, Israeli victims of terror. It's gonna be super hype.

Meanwhile, I've been shnorring around for contributions for the raffle. And my publisher sent me a box of books for raffle prizes. I get that "Ah, a box just arrived from UPS happy feeling." I tear open the box and there they are.

Books galore.

New books.

Fresh books.

Books I've not read.

Yum!

I know these books are not for me. I repeat, they are not for me. NO, THEY ARE NOT FOR ME.

But would it really hurt anyone if I at least crack one open and see what's inside?

Behold the message the universe sends me from Mo' Urban Dictionary, the book I chose to sample.
