The Lone Star College Book Fair starts tomorrow in Houston, Texas, and if you live there, drop by and say hi. I’m speaking (or rather discussing) on Saturday at 12:30; it will be a conversation with Dan Barker, who’s discussing his own new book, God: The Most Unpleasant Character in All Fiction, at 3:15 the same day. There will be a book signing (they may have both FvF and WEIT) right after my event; if you give me the Latin binomial for a felid native to Texas, you can get a cat drawn in your book.
I think it’s free for everyone. If you know any good places to eat (I’m going to Goode Co. for BBQ already), let me know.
Goode Company is an excellent choice. Not the best BBQ in Texas, but probably one of the better ones in Houston.
Are you leaving room in your luggage for another pair of boots?
Will this end up on CSPAN?
I respect Dan Barker due mainly to his knowledge and well reasoned discourse from his extensive background. I would very much appreciate seeing this pop up on YouTube in the future. Plans to record?
I think they’re gonna record it; at least I signed a release to that effect. I’ll let you know if it ever gets posted somewhere.
When are you coming to Boston?
I’ll see you on Saturday. Goode Company’s barbeque is quite acceptable. For the best old fashioned Gulf Coast seafood (i.e., fried), try the Seafood Market on Fountainview. It’s a real market that sells fresh fish, etc., with a little food prep section on the side. Cheap and cheerful, it’s the opposite of fancy, but their fried shrimp are the best in town at any price.
Killens Barbeque, probably the best in Houston
