The event in Portland on Friday you get a signed book which I’ve done ahead of time and you get to hear me talk, answering your questions in person, until at least 9, so from 7 to 9 you guys have me all to yourselves. The ticket for the event is 26 dollars. For that you get a signed copy of Divine Misdemeanors and you get me for two hours. Some of you have complained at having to pay anything, but others at other events have complained that I only get to talk and do Q & A for about fifteen to thirty minutes when you all have more things you want to ask, well this is your chance for that extra time.

Why charge at all? Powells has me in an audtitorium with seating like a big lecture hall so that you all can see me, rather than just a big voice, me, that you can’t see. I’m fairly short, so a regular sized crowd and those in back are going to catch only glimpses of me as I pace back and forth talking. So the Bagdad is a place where everyone has a good view and a good seat, and Powells has to cover the expense of it. That is my understanding. So good seats, good view, and at least 2 hours of back and forth between you guys and me. I guess I could bat my big, brown eyes at you and say, “You don’t think I’m worth it?” But honestly folks, each of you will have to decide that on your own. I don’t know your budget, and I don’t know how much you want your questions answered in person. Only you can make that call. For those who decide its worth it, then we’ll see you there. For those who cannot, <shrug>, I have no idea when I will be doing another event where I’m going to be talking and answering questions for this length of time.
