Having taken the print-on-demand route for publishing it, there is not a deep pockets (or even shallow pockets) publisher funding a tour. So, when I am going to be someplace anyway, I’m finagling ways to hawk it. This feels like a strange undertaking for me. Self-promotion (and I cannot construct a way to think about this that makes it be much other than that, even though the mission of this work is<\/em> vitally important to me) is not a natural fit.<\/p>\n

That said, the schedule below is a work in progress. In many of these instances, there is room for more stops in the area. If you’d like me to come to a street corner near you, let me know. Also, going forward, if you’d like to bring this show to a city or state near you that’s not already on the list, let me know. There are a variety of ways I’m using to package opportunities to make things workable. I do have my own contacts across the country, so sometimes it only takes a single crystal to make something bigger form. \u00a0The “tour” as currently envisioned will be an ad hoc, on-going, “progressive dinner” type of “event.”<\/p>\n
