A charming neighborhood bookstore in Philadelphia!

I had my first official reading yesterday afternoon in Mt. Airy, Philadelphia, a beautiful neighborhood and an apparent liberal enclave, where the residents seem to be battling it out over whose overgrown english-style garden is the most splendid, and who has the most Obama for president lawn banners. Although it was a beautiful day outside, the offer of a chapter from Guantánamo still managed to fill the cozy second-floor reading room of the very friendly Big Blue Marble Bookstore, assuaging my fears that for my reading debut I might end up starring in my own remake of the album-signing scene from This is Spinal Tap. Thanks for having me!
