Books and writers

Read my Metroblogger post about cheerful news for a San Francisco independent bookstore -- for a change.

I got shut out of the Clear Cut Press reading last night. I had been looking forward to this for some time, but traffic across the city was so bad that it took me 40 minutes to drive to North Beach. I arrived only 10 minutes late, but the upstairs room at City Lights was so small that it was completely full, with people standing on the stairs leading up to the room. I was in no mood to sit slumped on the stairs for more than an hour, so I just split. I was so disappointed. They are, however, reading in Berkeley tonight and L.A. this weekend (more info), and the big turnout bodes well for them.
