Under The Gum Tree is throwing itself a birthday party this Friday night, October 19, at Think House in Sacramento. Things get started at 7:00 p.m. over at 1617 18th Street.
Have you ever wondered what a Why It Matters story sounds like read aloud in a nervous, adenoidal voice? Here’s your big chance.
At some point during this evening I’m going to do ten minutes of twitchy talk, story time for grown-ups. I’m hoping that my slot comes somewhere between just enough and not too many cocktails.
If you’re in the Sacramento area come by and watch me embarrass myself. I’ll even sweeten the pot and give you a free copy of Keep On Stomping: A Why It Matters Chapbook just for coming down and showing your support. Hope to see you there!

Well, let’s hope so! 2013 might be a glorious train wreck, but it should be fun.

Finally, my ancient laptop allows me to come back to WIM, long after the festivities are over. Still – – 2013 is going to be a knock down good time, yes indeed.

No video this time, but I’ll get something along those lines cooking in 2013.

Good luck! But just as a precaution, check to see if Morgan Freeman is free to step in as your b-string reader. And yep. You should record this. You can always destroy it later…

I wish you could, too! I need cheerleaders, and not the ones who chant “U-G-L-Y you ain’t got no alibi, you ugly!”

There might be a recording, we’ll see. Regardless, I’m scheming and dreaming for 2013, so my angelic (read: whiny) voice likely will be coming your way soon enough.

Wish i could be there to see and hear it! You’ll just have to make do with my long-distance empathetic support.
I understand if you can’t stretch to a live intergoogleweb streaming video but I do hope you’re going to have it video’ed and posted on you-tube instead… it’s only fair to your adoring readers y’know..
