The Modern Evil Virtual Book Club will be doing something unusual next week – they will be meeting in person. That’s right. Wednesday evening, May 14th, (yes, a little ahead of schedule) we will be meeting at the Denny’s at 32nd Street and Bell Road in Phoenix, AZ to discuss The Great and Secret Show by Clive Barker. I do not, at the time of this writing, know exactly when we will meet, but presumably it will be sometime after Zoe’s normal workday and before I go see the midnight showing of The Matrix Reloaded. If you have read The Great and Secret Show and would like to meet with us, or if you’d just like to meet with us and maybe point fingers and laugh at us for being book readers, you’re welcome to join us. Just give me a call. If you don’t have my phone number, email me for it. If you can’t figure out my email address, comment here. If you can’t figure out how to call or email or comment, just show up at the Denny’s at 5PM and sit there until you see me. I look just like the photo of me in the right-hand-column of this page.
You know… unless someone shaves me, or I get into a horrible disfiguring accident.
Teel: Hey Zoe, I hear Iain is actually reading the book for this Book Club meeting. What are we going to do?
Zoe: We could actually meet in person instead of online, on a night Iain is stuck working at On The Border, your chicken fajita headquarters.
Teel: Good plan. Let us meet at a place very far from him too, just in case he gets the night off somehow. He is often complaining of gas prices, and will be reluctant to drive so far.
Zoe: Hooray!

I was really just having fun with that last post. No ill will. I certainly don’t feel like it was a waste of time for me to have read the book just because I can’t meet to discuss it with you.
Have your meeting Wednesday where you want, have fun, post pictures or a summary or something, and I’ll enjoy hearing the results and maybe I will post my own thoughts then.
Ta!
