Exciting New Book Reading Videos
Sunday, October 11, 2009
For all who were not able to attend, here is the impromptu performance of "Billie Jean" that I did at the Happy Ending Reading Series at the Brooklyn Book Festival on 9/13. Jonathan Ames, David Cross, and I all had to perform one public risk onstage, and mine was to recreate in dance one of Michael Jackson's most famous performances of all time. I told a story, read a bit, and then prepared to dance (at about the 6:00 mark). However, when the CD failed to work, the best audience ever and I did what we had to do. Yes, the song is too high for me; yes, I sure know how to garble some lyrics; and yes, I sing much better in my cabaret shows (god, I hope so); but something out of the ordinary sure happened that fateful afternoon in Brooklyn:

Also, for all you LITTLE MERMAID fans out there, here's footage of my best Ariel impersonation at the Slipper Room in May:

RIP, MJ, and long live Ariel.

Buy BLUE BOY via the amazing IndieBound!
Monday, May 18, 2009
Shop Indie Bookstores
More and more these days, I love independent bookstores for their commitment to authors, to books, and to the overall community of reading. That is why IndieBound is such an incredible organization; it culls together the best and brightest of the independent bookselling community and champions a love of reading and supporting authors through and through. When you pick up a copy of BLUE BOY from your independent bookseller, you truly make the book a part of your hometown. And Kiran would LOVE that! Just as much as he would LOVE IndieBound.
