I'm still reading at Cody's Tonight.

June 30, 2008

I'm still going through with my reading on the sidewalk in front of the recently closed Cody's Books in Berkeley tonight. The original reading was scheduled for tonight at 7pm so that's when I'll be there with a beat up, dogeared, and post-it noted to high hell copy of my book Beer, Blood and Cornmeal orating away. I'll even have books to sell and sign (supplied by Green Apple no less). The boarded up husk of Cody's is at 2201 Shattuck Ave Berkeley, CA 94704.

The East Bay Express even blogged on this!

I think it's great...

...that authors like you and Matt Richtel are refusing to take "closed" for an answer. Do you know of any other authors who have done the same?

Phantom Cody's

I don't know of anyone else but we are out there I'm sure. It's tempting to do a street corner tour of all of the closed down Cody's. The sign is still there in SF and I think Telegraph still looks like a Cody's as well. I'll get a blog up on my Cody's reading up in a bit.
