Book Tour, Part the Second (Imaginary)
So when I found out from Lucia that I would be missing Pandora’s first meetup because I would (again) be out of town on book tour (again), I just about lost it. Then I regained, remembered how excited I am to do be doing an event at Books and Books Miami and to see my parents, and figured this rage could be put to better use. Therefore…
If you are a creative person and have spend untold months on the road, keep a list of every event, happening, hootnanny and box social you miss at home. Then when your travels end, try and recreate these missed gatherings, one at a time on whatever scale you chose. You can throw a friend a second birthday, play a day’s worth of Matt Nathanson because you missed his concert, or reenact the Pandora Meetup with finger puppets. I say do all three.

Ha ha! Finger puppets! That would be sooo great!
I’m sure there’ll be another meetup, Kev. But the finger puppets thing sounds just as fun!
I love your idea of recreating missed things. Just last week I decided I’m going to re-do my 30th birthday party. It was a dissappointment to me, and I am going to do it right this time. Clean slate.
I like being 35; I’m not trying to go back in time. I just want to have a good memory of a milestone, not a crappy downer memory. Revision! Control Z!

Yes, Yes, finger puppets are like little psychiatrists at the end of your hands.
