Book Tour
I'm treating book tour as an excuse to visit all my scattered friends, so I'll update this as plans evolve-- and if you want me to make a stop where you are, shoot me an email. Also just saying, I'm pretty much always down for the social experiment of joining total strangers for any sort of fun outdoors trip.
