Recipe for America

Book Tour Dates + Pre-Order Info

Mon, 15 Jun 2009 10:28:01 -0700

I've added a new button to my blog (La Vida Locavore) to allow people to pre-order autographed copies of the book. After it is printed, I'll get a bunch from my publisher, sign them, and mail them out. Would it be too early to note that they make great Christmas gifts?

If you want to catch me on tour, here are the plans so far:

August 2 - San Diego, Sea Rocket Bistro in North Park at 6pm
August 6 - Philadelphia, PA at Big Blue Marble Books at 7pm
August 7 or 8? - Lancaster, PA
August 10? - New York City
August 13-16 - Pittsburgh, Netroots Nation
September 5 - Tacoma, WA, Farmers market in the AM; King's Books at 3pm
September 7 - Portland, OR, Slow Food's Labor Day Picnic Eat-In
September 8 - Portland, OR, InFARMation (and Beer!) at 5:30pm-8:30pm
September 9 - Portland, OR, Powells Books at 7:30pm (1005 W. Burnside)
September 10 - Portland, OR, Drinking Liberally
September 25 - Los Angeles
October 10-13 - Des Moines, IA, Community Food Security Coalition conference
Week of November 30 - Naperville, IL/Chicago

If your city isn't on this list and you want me to visit, please contact me at OrangeClouds115 at gmail. I am hoping to visit several other places, including: CA: San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Orange County; Vermont; Western Mass; Boston; Austin, TX; New Orleans; Madison, WI; Appleton, WI. I just don't have dates or solid plans for any of those places yet.
