Ooooookay. I’ve slept some. Time to share all about Pilcrow Lit Fest. I’m going to try not to forget anything, but it might take me a few posts to get it all down.
We talked about Thursday night’s Fixx Reading Series already, at least in photos. So, let’s start with Friday. Friday, I hung out at [...]
I don’t have all my thoughts together on Pilcrow just yet, and I owe you guys a nice long post all about it… but I am just home and in bed from a day of panel discussions and the New Orleans Public Library Foundation fundraiser event tonight and this is the best kind of tired.
Don’t [...]
Pilcrow Lit Fest is nearly upon us. I need a little help wrangling a few final things:
I need more booze and wine for the NOLA party. Or, a place to buy a bulk of it inexpensively on Pilcrow’s budget.
I need smiling volunteers to greet authors and audience members at the panels on Saturday during the [...]
Hi gang.
I’m running the Y-Me Breast Cancer Organization’s Mother’s Day 5K. I have a fundraising page for it, too, if you want to give to the cause. But, this time, I’m not running solo. My running partner, Dondi Walker, has promised to dye her hair pink for the race and beyond when she meets her [...]
Errrrk! (Screeching tire noise) Where does the day go? Hi gang. What’s new?

Pilcrow Lit Fest has a ChipIn page to raise money to offset food and booze, office supplies and the like– especially the food and booze part because in the “takes money to make money” category, we need to make the NOLAPL fundraiser party as fabulous as it can possibly be. So, consider a few dollars [...]
Yesterday I said, “I like nice things. They’re welcome anytime.” And, look at that. Another nice thing showed up today:
Meredith Jacobs from Modern Jewish Mom posted a piece I wrote about using event leftovers for good in the Lifestyle Advice section. How nice! I’m so happy to see my name on her site, as it’s [...]
So, I’m really just aiming to finish up a few last-minute tweaks on Katie Schwartz’s essay collection today. Just like last night. No big whoop. However, this morning, I watched a guy about to get whomped-up upon by a line of people and nearly had to fight a guy myself.
Let’s back up.
I was running a [...]
Hey, don’t forget, Pilcrow Lit Fest is passing the hat for office supplies, booze for the NOLA libraries fundraiser, snacks for the hardworking volunteers and the like and needs a few bucks to do it. Hit the Pilcrow blog and check out the fancy-schmancy little ChipIn widget on the left and please consider donating a [...]
