At the 540 in SF This Thursday
There are few more hallowed watering holes in San Francisco these days than the 540 Club on Clement at 7th. It’s a dive in the best sense of the word and here I am, potentially ruining all the lowbrow ambiance by hauling off and having a book reading there. I mean a book reading at the 540? What are you crazy? You have to be shitting me! Well, yes I am crazy, but remember the 540 is right next to Green Apple Books so the cross pollination of books and booze may be inevitable. At least my book has The Cruiser’s thumb going into all the wrong places, Sasquatches going crazy and El Homo Loco pooping hotdogs out onto a grill during a backroom peepshow. If any book should be read aloud at the 540, it’s mine.
Okay, that all being said, I’ll be reading there this Thursday May 22nd. On Thursday nights they have an extended happy hour with lots of drink specials. You can get really plowed there in a hurry. Books will be available for sale and signing. Here are the details:

Sasquatches going crazy
Hi Bob,
Good luck on your reading! I've never been to the 540 Club, but I LOVE Green Apple! Hopefully people will cross the street after your reading and buy your book!
Sasquatches going crazy sounds fabulous... Have you ever been to the Big Foot Discovery Museum in Felton, CA? If not, you've definitely got to check it out: http://www.bigfootdiscoveryproject.com/. There's a great bar next door called the Log Cabin, which is straight out of Twin Peaks...

Marvel Team Up Featuring Green Apple and the 540
The 540 is one door down or so from Green Apple. Nick from Green Apple is actually the one who put together this reading at the 540 and Green Apple will be selling books at the bar during my reading.
El Pollo Diablo (a former Incredibly Strange Wrestler who dressed up in a big chicken suit) used to have a Sasquatch sighting map from the Bigfoot Discovery Museum. That map served as a major source of inspiration for Macho Sasquatcho.
The Globe in Daly City has a major Twin Peaks kind of feel to it on Saturday Karaoke nights. You really have to be there to get my drift on this.
If you're in SF on Thursday, please stop by the reading. It will be raucous.
