Fall for the Book
There is a book festival this week in Northern Virginia called Fall for the Book. I kept seeing signs for it around the GMU campus, and I didn't think it was a big deal.
But then I discovered that Sherman Alexie (the poet who said he wanted to punch a woman reading on a Kindle) will be at the festival tomorrow night. I'm going to ask him to sign my Kindle not just because it's funny but because I'm a fan of his work. Last edited by Nate the great; 09-23-2009 at 08:07 AM. |

I do hope that your Kindle is fully insured, Nate.
Just in case it gets punched. |

I was planning to write a front page post about it titled "Sherman Alexie BLANK my Kindle".

Be sure and wear an MR t-shirt, in case the news or police have to be called. Get your mug shot in an MR t-shirt, let it be your new avatar!

Nate, do you like living dangerously all the time, or are you just in rare form? I would pay good money to see you ask the man to sign your Kindle...

He laughed when he saw my Kindle. Then he signed it with the inscription

The inscription and signature is along the spine (upper edge). The attached picture is the best I can do. Tonight I'll see if my scanner will do a better job.
