Thanks to all of you who made it to my reading last night in Los Angeles, and to the folks at Tangier for hosting. And for Heidi for being a great sport. And to Andreas who stood up and read his sidebar, despite my heckling.

My book tour is over. And really, I couldn’t have hoped for a better “end of the road” event than LA. The reading was so much fun, the house perfectly packed, and I even managed to drag Andreas on stage to read his sidebar. Then I dragged Heidi on stage to embarrass her over her antics at our wedding reception. And then I cut up a penis cake that somehow managed to be even more obscene than the penis cake at the book release party, way back in February … which seems like a lifetime ago. So long ago that I can hardly remember why penis cake became an offbeat party staple. Who the fuck’s promotional idea is this? I bookended my book tour with penis cake and a Wai-Ching dress on both ends. I’m not sure what that means.

Lots of photos over here, including shots from most of the other places I toured.

UPDATE: Oh and yes, for those who noticed, this does mean that my Portland reading on June 11th has been canceled. Sorry I didn’t announce that — I didn’t think anyone would notice, and I guess I was wrong.

(Thanks to leahpeah for the photo!)
