Then, on the 23rd, we fly to Germany, and don&#8217;t come back until September 6th.
We&#8217;ll be staying with our friend, Jim, who is stationed [...]

But first, the reason why I went with the the big size of this week&#8217;s cover is because if you were to print it out, you could connect the dots to make Muhammad.

In the meantime, I wanted to post an update of what I&#8217;ve been doing at The Stranger lately.
You guessed it!  Meeting authors and crashing parties!
In this week&#8217;s issue (the cover for which is right [...]

Last weekend I crashed a sci-fi themed party for The Stranger.  This article is in print, but I haven&#8217;t picked up the issue yet, so I am not sure what page is on. [...]

Most recently, I reviewed Elif Shafak&#8217;s The Forty Rules of Love: A Novel of Rumi.
The novel goes back and forth between the story of Ella Rubinstein, and her increasing interest in a [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Recently I reviewed Zombocalypse Now by Matt Youngmark on Slog, The Stranger&#8217;s blog.  My conclusion was:

Overall, Matt Youngmark is no Max Brooks. But this is a good book to have around, either in your bathroom or next to your bong.
But I did give a few details about what I learned about the Zombie Apocalypse.  You never [...]

Last night, I saw Patti Smith read/talk/sing at Benaroya Hall in downtown Seattle.  I was totally blown away by her.
Earlier this month, I was sent on assignment (doesn&#8217;t that sound cool?  Like I&#8217;m a secret agent ninja [...]
