This is probably the last big literary event of 2010. Grace Krilanovich’s new novel from chic Brooklyn press Two Dollar Radio, The Orange Eats Creeps, is about a band of “hobo vampire junkies” wandering the postapocalyptic Pacific Northwest of the 1990s. Joining Krilanovich in her genre-muddling evening will be local luminary Ryan Boudinot, who’ll debut a piece from his upcoming novel about someone building Manhattan in Puget Sound, and experimental Portland author Gabriel Blackwell, who wrote a stellar short story about seven versions of a man named Walter Pidgeon sitting in a waiting room.

Or you can have free milk and cookies at Pilot Books while listening to two short stories by me. Milk & cookies at 6:30 p.m.; readings at 7:30 p.m. Just sayin’. 🙂
Or you could do any of the really fun things in Fremont.
Most stores – including Theo’s Chocolate Factory – are giving a lot of their proceeds from TODAY – Thursday Dec 9 – sales to the B.F. Day School After School Programs.
A school that has about 40 percent homeless kids and is one of the few ethnically diverse public schools north of the Ship Canal.
Put your money where your mouth is.
Or maybe just put a cookie where your mouth is.
