Augusten Burroughs has a lot of fans

Augusten Burroughs signs books for adoring fans.

Augusten Burroughs came to the Boston Public Library last night and it was one majorly successful event.  We filled the 350 seat auditorium and piled an additional 50 – 100 people in the overflow area who watched Augusten read on video.  Then they all had the opportunity to get their books signed and have their pictures taken with the very popular author.  This is what the BPL needs, more big author events that appeal to a young audience.  I’m on the case.

My Friend, the Rock Star!

Colin, Chriso and PeterHey, remember just the other day I posted about my trip to San Francisco and meeting my new pal Chriso? Well I believe I also mentioned that he’s the drummer in a pretty nifty rock band, ex-boyfriends. Well take a peek at their brand-spanking new music video for the song, “Situation.” It’s damn cool, is incredibly professional, and I think it’s the first time a friend of mine has been featured in a music video!

A bit of trivia: the video shoot was done in the basement of the Armory Building in Mission District of San Francisco. I had the pleasure of seeing the space, and it’s pretty wild. There’s actually a river flowing through the basement!
