So hey: I’m going to Vancouver later this week. I loooove going to Canada, where the money is pretty, the shoes are fabulous, and the people are hot, smart, and have free health insurance. Also: fabulous accents!

I’m doing two readings while I’m up there, the first one on Thursday night at a Salon of Shame-like event called Teen Angst Poetry (8pm at The Annex @ 307 W. Cordova). You can get more info over here. I’m going to read something horrific from the late ’80s.

Then Friday night I’ve got an Offbeat Bride reading at Sophia Books. It’s going to be more than just a reading though — there will be hula hoops, music, an offbeat bridal fashion show, veils, and god knows what else. More info over here.

Saturday I’m probably going shoe shopping (twitch) and hopefully sticking around for an afternoon hula hoop gathering. Then it’s back over the border for me.
