Tonight! I'll be at the Grey Lodge Pub, only the best damn bar in Northeast Philly, for Authors A'Plenty 5 along with forensic thriller writer D.H. Dublin (Jonathan McGoran to his pals) and comic book artist Rob Reilly. Beer, books and good conversation will be on hand. Especially after I've had a few beers.Also on hand: the Bride, making a rare public appearance. (For those of you who think she does not exist, now's your chance to meet the beautiful redhead I hired to play the part of... er, I mean, your chance to meet my wife.) And Dave White, who says he just loves "the illadelph."
And in the Department of Strange Coincidences: At the same time the Grey Lodge is rockin' "Authors A'Plenty," they'll also be hosting the victory party of Al Taubenberger, the Republican candidate for mayor. What makes this is a coincidence is that he's the cover boy in the latest City Paper. Hope he liked the piece (which is the cover debut of new CP staff writer Tom Namako). If not, well, that's why God invented beer.
Mr. Swierczy:
ReplyDeleteSorry to contact you this way, but I wanted to let you know that my hourly rate has gone up since my last public appearance. I will be charging $125 per hour, sorry for this inconvenience. And I'll need to be paid in full this time... prior the event.
Thank you
I can't believe you charge more than the fictional babysitter who watches my made-up kids.
ReplyDeleteYou mean The Bride isn't an adult version of the robot girl Vickie in SMALL WONDER?
ReplyDeleteDamn! I'm working till 10:30. And it's an hour and a half to Philly. Any chance you'll be there at midnight?
ReplyDeleteIt was quite the time.
ReplyDeleteDamnit - I was actually IN Northeast Philly that night - I was home visiting the family, attending a Neice's Confirmation, eating to much, etc. etc.
ReplyDeleteI logged some bar time, but one more stop wouldn't have hurt me...
