A Vulgar Blog
Hopefully, vaguely regular stand-up comedy musings.
“The booker is also the host, and to his compliment, he actually did bring a crowd who was expecting comedy. That could have been awkward-
“Sorry, gentlemen! You won’t be seeing any boobs tonight! Instead, we bring you… talking ladies!””
Read Christina Walkinshaw about her appearance with Kathleen McGee in a strip club in Prince George.
So they only brought fifteen copies, so it's not a cray-cray accomplishment, but at today's book launch every copy of A Vulgar Art got sold. The amazeballs folks at University of Mississippi Press borrowed my copy for the rest of the conference so they could have something on display.
SUCK IT, ALICE WALKER!
Checking the list price for someone asking about it (so NOT pathetically self-googling, but constructively self-googling myself), I see that as of October 29 Amazon lists A Vulgar Art as available for order, not just pre-order. So buy it.
But folkies, it'll be at AFS in Santa Fe at the launch on Wednesday (Nov. 5) with all sorts of AFS discounts, and maybe signatures.
Author's copies are here, half an hour before I leave for Toronto and Santa Fe.
A new chapter by Jodi McDavid and I, available as a full preview on Google Books. But buy it anyways, you horrible people. It's on the PBS/CBC show Super Why! and its use of fairy tales and other traditional narrative.
There'll be a Wayne State University Press reception at the American Folklore Society meeting in Santa Fe. Maybe see folks there?
