The Million Miles in a Thousand Years book tour is leaving the Pacific Northwest and heading to California, Arizona and Colorado. The book releases in one week, though you can already get it on Amazon, Barnes and Noble and even some stores, but the live event has been running for a week. The crowds have been great so far, and we are certainly having a good time on the road. When you come to an event, you’ll be treated to Susan Isaacs who performs a piece from her one-woman show Angry Conversations with God, then a full hour in which I talk about my experiences since writing Blue Like Jazz, writing the movie and what I learned about life while editing a fictional version of myself. Search Twitter if you want to see what people are saying about the tour. Our next few dates take us through the San Francisco area and into Los Angeles. If you’re looking for a fun night, we’d love to see you in person. Here are the next few dates: Freemont, CA 9/24             TICKETS Azusa, CA 9/                         [...]

Earlier this year I had the privilege of spending a couple days in Washington DC with Jeremy Cowart. Jeremy is a premier photographer whose photos are seen all over the world. We had lunch at a little Thai place near Georgetown and I asked him how things were going. He was about to accept a job traveling with Brittany Spears as the official photographer for her tour, so things were good. But he also wanted something more, he wanted to give back. He had an idea, and it was a good one. Jeremy talked about the need for everybody to have a good photo of themselves. In the age of social networking, where our pictures are everywhere, a good photo is an advantage. But he also mentioned that not everybody has a camera, or somebody to take their picture, or even a way to get that picture onto a computer. He specifically mentioned single moms looking for jobs, and that of course got my attention. His idea was to call all his photographer friends and have them set up their equipment on one specific day and take pictures of anybody who needed a good photo. And then give those people [...]

A long time ago I put a message in a bottle and threw it into the ocean. Not unlike that Police song, I woke up and there were a hundred-thousand bottles washed upon my shore. That message was Blue Like Jazz, and I honestly didn’t expect anybody to actually read it. Since then, those of us who think the way we do haven’t had much of a chance to get together. I think that is one of the things I’m most excited about in regards to the Million Miles Tour. I do hope to see you on the road. Tickets are now available in select cities, and the other cities should be online soon. Would you spread the word by telling your friends?
