Lucie 'splains It All

Lucie Arnaz comes this Sunday to entertain Austin as a part of Austin Cabaret's 10 year anniversary series of divalicious evenings from the American Songbook. She also happens to be one of my childhood sheroes.

Bedside Manner: Station to Station

I always have a few books going in different areas of the house: bed, bag, bathroom, etc. (incidentally, if you happen to be opening a bookstore, feel free to call it Bed, Bag and Bathroom, because that would be awesome). The books end up visiting each other's neighborhoods, but I brought them all to Bed Station Alpha so this post would be legit.

Bedside Manner: Black Holes, Fake Legs, and the Shaggs

First things first: I've been sleeping with Neil deGrasse Tyson for about a year now. As you can see, my handsome astrophysicist's Death by Black Hole is on top. It's been my go-to for bouts of insomnia, not because his descriptions of dying stars and molecular orgies are boring, but it's an appropriately dense book.

Teleportal Reading: Chocolate Shearwater Fountain

This is how they're describing it: "Teleportal is what might happen if LeVar Burton hijacked the Enterprise's holodeck and brought it to Reading Rainbow for a grownup afterparty." Shit, we're not gonna try to trump that: It's not only funny, it's pretty damned accurate. Listen ~

Bedside Manner: I Am Not a Scientologist!

Hey there, intrepid News staffer Wells Dunbar, turning those powers of perception inward today, for this voyeuristic glimpse into my inner sanctuary. Well, at least it was a good excuse to tidy up.

'Kings of Colorado' Author at BookPeople

"In the summer of 1963, when I was thirteen, I stabbed my father in the chest with a Davy Crockett Explorers pocketknife." How's that for a killer first sentence?

William Kuhn Finds Jackie Onassis at Work

When I started working as an assistant at Doubleday in January 1989, it was with more anticipation than usual for an entry-level college grad moving to New York to work in book publishing: Jackie Onassis's office was down the hall, and she was expected back from the winter holiday.
