Hi everyone,
Just a quick note to let you know that Chelsea Martin's awesome book, Everything Was Fine Until Whatever, is now at the printer and will be out before the end of the month. You can pre-order it now at our web site!

And some of you may have heard about the upcoming collaboration between myself and Reclinerland (aka Michael Johnson). He's recording a bunch of song based on some of the memoirs from my book, A Common Pornography. You can hear a couple of the songs now on my profile page (and maybe more on his own Myspace page). The collection of songs (which will be called Secret Notebook) will be available for download this spring.
Many of these stories (that the songs are based on) will be in the memoir I'm doing with Harper Perennial next year, The Suitcase.
And hey--there's a song on my profile by the elusive expat author Charles Ullmann. Check out his page and say hi. Tell him to write more!!

I hope to see people at some of these upcoming events: Smallpressapalooza on 3/16 at Powell's (fiftenn readers, 5pm-10pm, I'm hosting, Riley Michael Parker is reading last!), Chelsea's book release parties on 4/7 at The Maiden in Portland and in Seattle on 4/8 at Neptune Coffee.

See ya later!
Kevin
