I'm too tired to write really. So this will be just a summ up you know kind of thing.
Portland was great. John and Petra the hosts were great. Dog at the house was cute and funny and great. Her name was Stella and she was utterly entranced by Bret and would not leave his side unless forced to by nature or dog-parents. I slept like a baby and woke up only once to pee. Which is like a miracle. Then we got up at the ungodly hour of 5:30 and drove 11 1/2 hours to San Francisco.
The host in San Francisco had no place for us to stay and did not want to organize or emcee the evening and was very put out by having to do so. She offered us the floor of her studio apartment. We stayed with Bret's brother and his at their beautiful house in Alameda.
Hightlights: A friend of Paul's, Allegra, came to the reading and we got to talk and hug and say hello and all that.
Lowlights: Kristin, of "Holy Shit, She's a Fucking Nightmare" fame showed up at the reading in Portland. I used my bitch-fu to ward her off.
