The Spoonbenders tour kicked off a week early, on June 20. I was teaching the first week of Clarion West (a fantastic experience, with very sharp and lovely students, which I need to also blog about) and then appeared at the University Bookstore for their Clarion West reading series. Knopf PR wizards worked with bookseller extraordinaire, Duane Wilkins, to get early copies of the book to the store.

We packed the room, and I had a blast–though not even my vast mind powers could keep the microphone in its holder.
