Change Your Day

A revitalized blog with one mission: to present a moment that jolts your day, triggers new thinking, gets you through traffic tangles, and relieves job stress. Or, more prosaically, accompanies you through the early miles of bike touring through France and Italy. Wherever you are, I aim to change your day.

MARIE EQUI Ends Portland Tour at Broadway Books

9/20/2015

My Portland friends recommended Broadway Books as the indie bookstore in town for MARIE EQUI. They were right. Bookstore proprietors don't get more friendly, accommodating, good-humored and smart than Sally at Broadway Books. 

She also gave us an excellent introduction and provided wine for the guests.

The bookstore offers a comfortable and engaging setting that welcomes authors and readers alike. Dale Danley and I were especially pleased to have three members of the Gay Lesbian Archives of the Northwest (GLAPN) join us. All three have conducted their own research of LGBTQ life in Portland: George Niccola, Dave Kohl, and George Painter. We also got to visit with the sister of our good friends and neighbors in San Francisco as well as friends of friends. 

Afterwards we walked down the block to the local McMenamin's for pizza and drinks (blackberry cider for me). Seven events in four days, a whirlwind of talks, books, long-time and new friends. So good to feel welcome in my hometown. 

Broadway Books, 1714 NE Broadway. Get your signed copy of MARIE EQUI there.
