where i'll be, with (jingle) bells on

I have multiple events coming up soon. This will all happen after I endure a four day bus/train ride to Mississippi, which begins tonight at around 8:30 p.m. Hypnotherapy to cure my fear of flying, I will see you in January.

If you're in north Mississippi or south Mississippi or New York City/Brooklyn, please come out to say hello, to hear me read, to have me scrawl my illegible signature across your title pages, to delight in my profuse sweating. I will give you either a good reading or a great smile in return. I promise. (I wish I could tell you that I would flash my gold crown as well, but I cannot because I got a porcelain one a few weeks ago when I visited the dentist instead of the gold that I was promised. Sigh. Balling fail.)

I'm looking forward to seeing all your beautiful faces. Hopefully I won't have to shank any lecherous pervs on the train somewhere in southwestern Texas in order to get to your aforementioned beautiful faces. Here's to hoping.
