Books Books Books, and Amy's Cookies

It's time for the big literary smooch-fest known as Book Expo America, and there are publishing things going on all over the city. Off to check out the City Lights' 50 anniversary party at St. Marks Church in the East Village, and then some other event at Galapagos in W-burg. Then Friday and Sat. I'll be working the promo table for Manic D Press, a fab tiny indie press from SF. If you're cruising the Javitz Center, come and say hi, and bring me some pie! (Note to other convention goers: the area around 11th Ave and 40th St is definitely food desert. Best lunch choice, by far: the grilled cheese sandwiches and chocolate-chubby cookies at Amy's Bread, on Ninth Ave between 47th and 48th Sts.
