The book tour comes to New York on February 9th and 11th. Or put some culture into your Valentine's Day festivities and come out for the Book Release Party/Media Mixer/Variety Show at the Housing Works Bookstore Cafe downtown. Limited capacity — advance tickets really recommended.

So good riddance.
