Geek book tour!
So I’m on a book tour for the next couple of weeks, doing readings to support the anthology I co-edited with Charlie Anders, She’s Such a Geek: Women Write About Science, Technology, and Other Nerdy Stuff. Some of that time actually involves travel to distant, exotic locales like Boston and New York. If you want to catch me on the East or West Coasts, come out on any of the dates below. If you want to bring us to your non-coastal city, please let me know! I love the midwest and the south, and would love to visit either or both again. Our main barrier is travel money, so if your university or organization or group of friends wants to pay us to come out there, we’ll do it!
Tour dates:
Boston
1.11 Center for New Words, Cambridge, Mass. 7 PM.
1.13 Arisia, Cambridge, Mass. 2 PM. Must pay for a day pass to the conference.
New York
1.16 Bluestockings, Manhattan. 7:30 PM.
1.18 Performing as part of the Drunken! Careening! Writers series at the KGB Bar in Manhattan. 7 PM.
San Francisco
1.25 City Lights Bookstore, San Francisco. 7 PM.
2.1 Modern Times Bookstore, San Francisco. 7 PM.
We hope to add more dates in the South Bay and Los Angeles. I’ll keep you posted.

[...] The very cool Annalee Newitz is coming to New York next week to promote her newest book. I’m going to try to make it. But jeez… too many things, too little time. :/ [...]

There may not be a lot of geeky girls in Hawaii but if you ever do stop here, it would be awesome!

You were awesome last night at KGB Bar … I think I was the one person to see “She’s All That” and was laughing off my stool at your brilliant take on The Fly. Awesome anthology, I was so delighted to learn about it — I bought it last night on Amazon — can’t wait to read all of the other essays. I’ve always felt uber proud at my geekness and although my circle of friends has always been the guys who accept me and my database of useless facts, it’s quite cool to see there’s a bunch of other women who make no apologies for their geekdom. “Get up Trinity” that couldn’t have been any more poignant
Kudos!

It was very cool to meet you at Arisia and share perspectives on the YouTube panel.
Best of luck with the book and hope to see you back in Boston in the future.
