Gentle Reader, tomorrow (Tuesday Feb. 23) I am doing a special event in San Francisco, CA at 6:00 PM at Borderlands Books.
This sponsor ONLY panel features yours truly with Richard Kadrey and Pat Murphy: Been There, Done That, Wish I Hadn’t. We’ll share our worst career mistakes, as well as advice we wish someone had given us from the start.
Borderlands Sponsor Program is a community grassroots experiment to save a wonderful San Francisco SF/F bookstore. (Here are details about what benefits sponsors receive. Here is information about how the sponsor program came about.)

I think a right venue is very important for any event that you want to celebrate with your loved ones. I remember spending so much time to find a good event space NYC for my cousin for their wedding. At last, got a very good deal.
