Book Events
August 9th, 2010
All work and no play makes Liz a...freak. Actually it makes me hightail it to Oaks Park with my good friends.
The past several weeks have been a little nutty but the best kind of nutty — extra special hazelnut butter nutty — because of the book. I’ve done so many book events now some of them are blending into one another in my memory. I think because of that that it’s high time I post about them.
Oh, and another good reason for this post is that there’s a great event taking place tomorrow night — Tuesday, August 10th — that I want to tell you about. Friends of Family Farmers has found a new monthly InFARMation space at Holocene. FOFF was hosting this monthly PDX agricultural event at Roots Brewing Co. but they closed shop (so sad) and now FOFF is now hosting its InFARMations every second Tuesday of the month at Holocene. Read more about InFARMation here.
I’ll be at InFARMation tomorrow night — Tuesday, August 10th — sitting at the back selling my book and talking with folks from 6:30pm-8:30pm. This month’s InFARMation is all about the Eater’s Bill of Rights. InFARMations are free and run from 5:30-8:30pm (talk/presentations from 6:30-8pm) with food and drink for purchase. Should be great. Stop by if you can.
Since July 1st here’s a bit of what I’ve been up to with book events that I haven’t already written about…
This year’s Mississippi Ave. Street Fair was a great time…
I got to hang out all day with this fine fellow -- Paul Gerald -- at the Mississippi Ave. St. Fair. Paul is author of a bunch of books that I love and his booth is Stumptown Scribes.
Paul's hiking and camping books along with my food/drink book are a good mix. He's working on the second edition of Breakfast in Bridgetown at the moment.
They expected 30,000-plus at Miss. Ave. St. Fair -- think they got it.
Overlook Village Celebration was fun too…
Stumping it with Stumptown Scribes and Paul Gerald at the Overlook Village Celebration.
The Powell’s book event with Nick Zukin, Sarah Hart, Steve Jones and John Cleary was a dream come true…
Doesn't get better than a book event at Powell's...

Full house at Powell's City of Books Food Lover's Guide to Portland book event.
Thank you to everyone who’s made these events so special!
