The So-Called "Kylie Night" / WASHINGTON, D.C./ October 13, 2007

Okay. I guess after having such a streak of seamlessly lovely events for The Straight Road to Kylie, there had to be one redheaded bastard stepchild. No worries, though! I still had an amazing time, met some great people, and got to hand out 50 books. But let's just say...there was some major B.S. thrown in there, too.

RELEASE PARTY @ Pop Rocks! / NYC / May 24, 2007

Every Thursday, Spin Cycle NYC puts on an all-pop-music gay dance party called Pop Rocks! that has always been my favorite dance night in New York. Each week has a theme, usually with giveaways, and when I approached them in early 2007 with the idea of throwing a Straight Road to Kylie release party, they were all for it. And so it was decided. May 24th, book giveaways, and TWO STRAIGHT HOURS OF ALL-KYLIE MUSIC!!!!

I won't go into too much mind-numbing detail about the party, but I definitely wanna give you the highlights! Read more >

"HOMECOMING" READING @ Urban Think! / Orlando, FL /
July 6, 2007

Over the Fourth of July weekend 2007, I flew back home to Orlando for a quick visit and to do the dreaded "Homecoming" reading from The Straight Road to Kylie. Dreaded because, well, let's face it: my debut novel isn't always the most savory and grandparent-friendly material. And everyone was there. But it turned out to be a total success, and the post-reading celebration (involving free Heineken, drunken tattoo viewings, and some foul-mouthed Florida drag queens) was pretty amazing, as well!
