Yo, Vancouver! Thanks to all of you who turned up to both of the sold-out events yesterday at the Writers Festival. If you missed out, I’ve got another event tonight, at Kidsbooks at 7PM, and I’ll be at the Great Northern Way Campus Centre for Digital Media on Monday at 11, before I head to Victoria for a 7PM event at Bolen Books. From there, I go to Seattle, Toronto and Boston (Here’s the full schedule).
Just now, a few minutes before 10AM Pacific, the Humble Ebook Bundle crossed the $1 MILLION mark. Yes, it’s an arbitrary round number, but it’s a BIGGUN! For those of you who haven’t clocked it, the Humble Ebook Bundle is a collection of 13 ebooks — science fiction, fantasy, and graphic novels — for which you can name your price, and designate some or all of your money to charity in the process. I’m over the danged MOON. You’ve got just about three days to get in on the deal before it vanishes!
Joly MacFie from The Punkcast was good enough to bring his cameras down to my Pirate Cinema tour stop at Brooklyn’s WORD books, and has uploaded the presentation (including the airing of the runners-up and winner of the remix video contest we held) to YouTube. Thanks, Joly!
Review:
Seattle Times
Along with its other attractions — David-and-Goliath-like encounters between kids and rich lawyers, epic feasts on jellied eels and other gourmet garbage finds, shivery alley escape routes — “Pirate Cinema” offers ample and appetizing food for thought.

Hey, Vancouver! Quick reminder: there are still some tickets left for my appearance with William Gibson today at the Vancouver Writers Festival (the conversation with Margaret Atwood is sold out, alas), and I’ll be around tomorrow at 7PM for a Kidsbooks event at the West Point Grey United Church, and then on Monday at 11AM at the Great Centre for Digital Media at the Northern Way Campus. The full schedule (including my stops in Victoria, Seattle, Toronto and Boston) is here.

Hey, Vancouver! I’m headed your way tomorrow for a pair of ticketed appearances at the Vancouver Writers Festival, the first with William Gibson at 2PM, then another at 5PM with Margaret Atwood and Pasha Malla. On Sunday at 6PM, Kidsbooks (one of the last great independent children’s bookstores in the country) is hosting an event for me at the West Point Grey United Church. On Monday at 11AM I’ll be at the Great Northern Way Campus Centre for Digital Media at 11AM, and then at Victoria’s Bolen Books at 7PM. After that, I head to Seattle, Toronto, and Boston — here’s the whole schedule. Be there or be somewhere else, but if you can, be there!
