Thank you, Las Vegas

Tuesday, November 11, 2008

Dear hometown and the participants in the Vegas Valley Book Festival,
Thank you for coming out celebrate books and all that is literary.

A special thanks to all those who came to the Noir panel on November 7th. Hopefully, we entertained you.

An even more special thanks to my fellow panelists: Jarret Keene, Tod Goldberg, Todd James Pierce, and Vu Tran (who wasn't on the panel, but should have been up there with us).

Las Vegas always opens my eyes to something new.

Thank you for the love and support.

Lori

 
This week: Vegas Valley Book Festival!

Sunday, November 2, 2008


Hi, all,
The Vegas Valley Book Festival is coming up next week. From November 6-8, poets will read, music will play, art will be shared.

I'll be speaking on a panel called "Vegas Noir," along with Jarret Keene, Tod Goldberg, and Todd James Pierce. Steve Grogan will moderate. We'll be discussing the book Las Vegas Noir and the topic of the "Great American Las Vegas Novel." Who will write it? What will it be about?

My panel is Friday, November 7 at 3:30 p.m. at the Fifth Street School in Downtown Las Vegas.

I am very excited about this event, as well as Jarret's "Operation Desert Word Storm" that will make Vegas' First Friday Art Walk more literary than ever--lots of performers and warrior poets to watch and love.

We'll get a chance to dance around Downtown Las Vegas and have a Noir-inspired drink or two.

I would be beyond delighted to see everyone at the Noir panel.

Lots of love and hope,

Lori
