Tron Legacy, AQLF update, Venus readings
When I was 13 and going to the arcade after school and every day during the summer, Tron was geekgasm supreme. The movie looked like nothing else at the time (1982) and there was always a line to play the video game. At Comic Con in San Diego, folks got to see this trailer for the sequel, Tron Legacy. The graphics are super cool and Jeff Bridges is back, but I kinda giggled because he sorta looks like The Dude (His Dudeness, Duder, El Duderino) in The Big Lebowski. That light cycle holds the room together, Dude.
The schedule for the 2009 Atlanta Queer Literary Festival is nearly complete. Along with keynote speakers Staceyann Chin and Manil Suri, we just confirmed Terry Galloway (author of the new memoir Mean Little Deaf Queer) and Michael Montlack (who edited the My Diva anthology). Read an update at www.atlqueerlitfest.com.
Still working on setting up regional readings for Conquering Venus. Phone calls and emails are out, so just waiting for dates. North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Florida in that order if all goes well.

My brother refers to Jeff Bridges as The Big Letronski now. ;)
Barnes & Noble informed me that my CONQUERING VENUS shipping date has been changed/delayed. Know anything about this?
Anyway, maybe we should do an interview about the book once I read it. What do you think?
I'd love to do an interview!
Conquering Venus deserves a wide audience. Now that it has a life of its own, you'll be going along for many a ride. It's a big job, but hopefully it'll be rewarding as you hear the positive feedback from the readers, of which there will be many, I'm sure. I'm enjoying being a witness to the journey.
