Keepin’ it Real

We had an incredible turnout at Dutton’s in Brentwood on Friday night for the “Keep It Real” launch party. The crowd was divided into two groups: Friends I talked to so little it was insulting, and friends I didn’t talk to at all. In spite of my social shortcomings, your generosity was overwhelming – we more than doubled the store’s sales projections. (And they do these dog-and-pony shows almost every night, so they’re pretty good at knowing what to expect.)

We had another fine crowd Saturday afternoon at our neighborhood store, Village Books, driven in large part by a swell article by Bill Bruns that ran in this week’s Palisadian-Post. To all of you who came out for these events, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thanks also to those of you who couldn’t make it, but either ordered the book online, or are planning to come to Book Soup Monday at 7pm. (Even if you did come to Dutton’s or Village, in the event that you find yourself anywhere near West Hollywood Monday night, you may want to stop by Book Soup. Rumor has it that a very BIG special guest will be making an appearance. I mean HUGE.)

I know a lot of people didn’t get their books signed at Dutton’s, so call or drop by the house anytime and we’ll remedy that.

I hope you all have lots of fun reading the book and, if you do, please spread the word. A great way to do that is to go to Amazon , scroll down to “Customer Reviews,” and write your own. Please be completely honest about how much you love “Keep It Real.”

See you soon,
