Whew: My book tour is over.
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? (...oh yeah: mine.) 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.

Crap, sorry: no, you didn't miss it. The PDX reading has been canceled.
