Stories and Songs Residency Update

Just want to send a quick thank you to everyone who has been involved and attended the Stories and Songs residency all month at Googies. We've had some terrific readings and performances and I'm grateful to everyone who has come out to support this little endeavor. This week, we're going out with a bang. New York Times book reviewer Joseph Salvatore, whose new collection of short stories, To Assume a Pleasing Shape, will be published by BOA Editions in 2011, will be reading. Word is he's bringing a pretty good crowd. In addition, Emily Easterly, J. Seger and Chris Cubeta, three of the best songwriters I've had the pleasure to know, have a few tricks up their sleeves to put an exclamation point on our month-long jamboree. I don't know what those "tricks" are, but I'm sure none involve a lady being sawed in half. Pretty sure, anyway. Just come out and take a chance.

Thanks again to everyone who has been involved. I'll be posting regularly in October and November as we get ready for the release of Gadfly and the as-of-now untitled EP (any suggestions?). As soon as we know that date, we'll get you all the pertinent info.

That's all for now. Oh, check out this blog entry from my friend Matt Singer who performed at the Stories and Songs residency. He's an amazing writer and I am humbled by his far too effusive praise.

See ya' reeeeeeaaaaal soon!
