Folks, It’s staying light out longer these days so I’m going to still show up to Cody’s this coming Monday and hold my previously scheduled reading on the sidewalk in front of the boarded up husk of what was once a great American bookstore. East Bay People, please still show up to the recently closed Cody’s and bring some friends.

Here’s the info
Monday, June 30th, 7pm
Cody’s Books, 2201 Shattuck Ave in Berkeley

I’m going to be sure to have some copies of “Beer, Blood and Cornmeal” available for sale and signing too.

I mean I even got listed on Flavorpill. The show has to go on!

I have the book! (Photo: Brandi Valenza)

I have a book! Yes, I do. A book. Just one. Keep away. No! Mine! You can’t have it! Have a heart man! It’s the only one I’ve got! Get yer own!

Last Friday, a package was ignominiously left on my doorstep. Nobody knocked on the door or made me sign anything. I was on my way somewhere when I found it. Michael Holmes at ECW Press emailed me the day before to tell me that they were sending it so I was kinda’ expecting it but probably not quite so quickly. (Thanks for expediting this ECW! The wait was killing me!)

ECW Press pulled out all the stops with this one. There are 32 color pages of pics in it – all excellently reproduced. The pages look great. It’s really a book that I can be proud of.

I’m not sure if it’s going to ship out early or not. Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Powell’s are all still taking pre-orders for it. Get yours today.

THIS JUST IN: as I was getting the link for Amazon’s BBAC page, I found that it’s now not only #4 on their list of pro wrestling books but #29 for biographies! Here’s a pic. This won’t last…

There are things still, here and there, that I think might need a bit of finessing, but for the moment, this fucker is ready to go.
