That’s where Lance Reynald will be reading on Tuesday, and Kimberly Wetherell and I will be escorting him there. No guarantees that we’ll get him there sober, but one way or another, it will be a fantastic evening. Hope to see many of you there!

Anyway, loved hearing/reading the discussion.

I am writing to you from the Council of Literary Magazines and
Presses http://www.clmp.org, the country’s only nonprofit organization devoted to helping the
community of independent literary publishers. CLMP’s small presses
and literary magazines represent the voices left out of the mainstream
and document the literature of entire communities. They are motivated
by their passion for literature, not the bottom line. However, passion
alone cannot sustain a publisher. We help our publishers run better as
businesses and help them reach new readers. We make it possible for
them to keep publishing despite shrinking resources. We rely on
readers like you to do this essential work.

This is a particularly challenging time for CLMP and I hope we can
count on your help. Please consider becoming a Friend of CLMP today.
We help more than 500 independent publishers with support from Friends
of CLMP! Despite the economy, we continue to serve our community and
even launch new programs—we ask for your help now as we enter the
cash-poor days of summer.

You can become an active member of this community by making a fully
tax-deductible contribution to CLMP. Click here to donate: http://www.clmp.org/support

Please keep America a country where literature matters by making a
contribution to CLMP today. Our publishers need your help—and we
will provide that help thanks to your support.

Wishing you a spectacular summer!

Warmest regards,

Jeffrey

P.S. Those able to give $100 or more will be thanked with a very
special, limited edition, signed letterpress broadside printed by our
friends at Coffee House Press!

I’m going to check out the link in a minute. Next weekend we’re going to what (with funding) might become the first math museum in the US. They’re doing an exhibit as part of the World Science Fair.

Off in a bit to the Hamptons. The boys were just asked if they’d play out there for $, so we’re heading out in about a half an hour…

For some reason, the potential for insanity peaks when dealing with declining parents, and some of my sibs are losing it. It’s basically them wanting to be in charge, not being able to handle it, but not wanting to admit that or let anyone else take over. And Dad simply becomes a pawn in the chess-match that is my family.

We did take an extra day to go to San Francisco and see the new California Academy of Sciences – WOW! That is absolutely the best science museum I’ve ever seen. Here’s a link (and I hope I can get it to work):

Where did you go on your trip?

(Any word on the boy with the large musical instrument??)
