I’ll be the first to confess: I nearly spent what I pay in rent on audio equipment since Esquina Tango does not have a microphone for me to use for my first reading/book signing event on Sunday, Feb. 13th, 7 to 9 pm. Some would be in a post buyer’s panic over the expense, but I know that I have to invest in my own dreams if I expect anyone else to follow suit. As a matter of fact, it pleases my little Virgo-controlling heart to do as much as I can to make my first time as painless as possible. Plus, now that I have my own microphone, I’m very motivated to set up other readings/book signings.
On another note…for about two weeks, I tried converting the pdf of “Letters from Egypt” to a word document. The finished “word” document wouldn’t copy and paste into my blog, but the document would not cooperate. Finally, I just uploaded the pdf itself although it wasn’t the best quality and I feared that someone would get a headache attempting to read it for a long period of time. Not one week after I posted it, Egyptians started clamoring for Mubarak to step down. I must admit, I’m borderline superstitious enough to believe that the difficulty in converting and uploading my “Letters from Egypt” was a sign of exciting times to come now in Egypt! The dull alternative is simply to believe that those two things are merely a coinicidence.
