First, if you ever wanted to read about a pop-culture pilgrimage that I made, read here at the AV Club.

Secondly, there are some things coming up where I sure would be happy to have people come out and see me. First, Thursday January 14 I will be reading at WORD in Brooklyn with Sara Barron and Doree Shafrir. Please come say hi or let people know who might be in the area.

After that, February 3 back in Chicago I'll be at Reading Under the Influence.

February 9 I am hosting Funny Ha-Ha at the Hideout which will be very fun as always: check here for the lineup.

Then, March 3, if you want to plan that far ahead, I'll be reading at the amazing Encyclopedia Show.

Clearly I'm a shrinking violet who just wants her privacy.
