because hey, why make decisions when you can ask someone else to make them for you...

As far as clothing goes, be yourself. Wear what you want. If you like the idea of leather that day, go for leather. If you want to wear a "Got Geek?" t-shirt and jeans, that's fine too. Don't let me try to tell you what to wear.

But you might as well feed the anticipation with Weight of Stone. Not like I'll be there, but I'm sure some fans will.

Well, I'm hoping someone who likes my work shows up, yeah....


EtA: and if you weren't aware the 2nd question was for your amusement, um, yeah. I can dress myself. Mostly.

Oh, at least give me a mulligan on that one. It's Friday, I've been dealing with mice in the basement the past two weeks, it's 94 out, and I'm beat.

[lagilman]

granted. :-)

I think HARD MAGIC is best suited to being read out loud, as long as you can do the voice characterizations tolerably well.

[lagilman]

Actually, the Vineart War books read out loud quite well. For someone with good breath control, anyway. ;-)

Summer at KGB? Leather? Aaarrrrrggh. (Sound of a reader melting into a pool of sweat). Wear something suitable to the probable temp and humididity conditions in a crowded room where the air doesn't move much. But you know that :-)

Harriet, who remembers going to hear Ebear one summer night.

heh, yeah. As I said, "in August?" But I do have a sleeveless leather vest that might work....

(Just tried to leave an anonymous comment, sorry, wasn't logged in).

As I just said anonymously, you know what that upper room at KGB is like in summer -- so go for the cool in every sense of the word :-)

I think you shouldn't give readings at all, because it just makes the rest of us envious. Envy being a sin, and all . . .

[lagilman]

Don't worry, just think of me reading to an entire bar filled with people who came to hear The Other Person Reading That Night, not me...

I will vote for something that you love and are comfortable wearing. The last thing one need when "on stage" is uncomfrtable clothing and/or shoes.

[lagilman]

I am proud to say that I don't own a single pair of uncomfortable shoes. Many of them are deeply frivolous, but not a none of them is uncomfortable.

I went with one book that's out (immediate sales) and one book coming out (build anticipation). Plus reading from two different series shows breadth of ability and range...

For what it's worth, some of us are totally going to hear you read!
