LGBT Community Center, SF
June 15th, 2006 | Uncategorized
Last night a whole buncha wonderful people came to my reading at the community center in SF. The building is this huge handsome place, all very well-appointed. They had excellent equipment too–look how big they could project the pictures from my book.
I’m sorry this is such a brief post. Maybe I’ll elaborate later, but right now I have to race off to my reading in Berkeley at Cody’s.

I thought there were more than 86 people! Wow, I’m a flake. My comment from yesterday actually should have gone here. & revise the numbers. Sorry.
Wow. I hate living in the south…we never get any decent book tours.
It was a wonderrful reading. I just wish you’d finished explaining how your sketches get onto the different papers.
I can’t wait! See you in Portland!
Hey Alison,
It seems as if you are getting well-deserved, big crowds on this tour–I was wondering if they are more varied than in the past, that is, straight, queer, gender-wise, interest-wise?
The question of cross-over publications and audiences fascinates me. Did being published by a mainstream house shape Fun House at all or was the story in place before you signed on with them? How does completing this work and having it be a huge success change your future?
A few things to think about between planes.
Have a blast out there.

Enjoyed listening to you at Cody’s last night and I can’t wait to read Fun Home; we’ll have to pressure some local (and paying!) media outlet to carry DTWOF.
Alison, your shirts inspire jealousy in me. Any chance of a Toronto stop on the Fun Home tour?
..I finally came up with that Auden poem that he wrote about being on book tour. It’s “On The Circuit” and it’s here: http://www.poemhunter.com/p/m/poem.asp?poet=39229&poem=504967
See you tomorrow night at the U Bookstore, brace yourself for CROWDS.
