Last night I read at Barnes and Noble in Santa Monica and it kicked some monster ass, which is fitting since I am on my MONSTERS OF MEMOIR SOLD OUT 2007 TOUR. Thanks to Guns n’ Roses and Usher for opening. I have to admit it harshed my nerves a bit to read in front of my family, and I tried to choose a piece that they weren’t in too much, which is actually impossible since the book is about them, so I read from “Period Piece” which is, uh, about my period and pretty embarrassing and while I was reading it I was thinking OH MY GOD WHY AM I READING THIS WHY NOT SOMETHING ELSE, MAYBE SOMETHING BETTER, MAYBE SOMETHING BY DAVE EGGERS PEOPLE REALLY LIKE HIM. Anyway, thanks to everyone who came out. Also note to self: Do not drink coffee right before you read. I could feel the caffeine in my blood. In fact my blood was asking for some half and half and two sugars.

I got some good news: I just saved money on my car insurance. No wait, there’s other news too. We did a second printing of 1,500 yesterday, bringing the grand total up to 15,700. Basically, my parents bought 1,500 of them last night. They were all 20% off so they were very pleased. Everyone likes a good sale, right? Come on, it’s 20% off. Now there’s no excuse for you not to buy it. So thanks to everyone who bought a book. And to those who didn’t: I hate you. No wait, I am just totes kidding as the kids say.
