THE GLEAMING ROOFTOPS AT SUNDOWN

Howdy troupers,

We’ll be making a crash landing in New York this Sunday, Sept 16th at 5:30 at the Zinc Bar.  Michelle Naka Pierce and me, reading from new books, and a standing invitation from me to you, asking (no, scratch that) begging for your best, most considered verbal abuse!  Think of it: tell off a stranger and get a reward!  What could be better?  Tell you what: why don’t you practice a couple of times in front of the bathroom mirror, and once you’ve worked yourself into a seething rage, come on down to the Zinc Bar and let me have it!
