I had a ridiculous and instant crush on her and because she lived two streets away, I hoped to run into her over the summer and develop a kind of "Grease" narrative...

But then she vanished.

Her family moved. And when I asked the neighbors and friends of mine who lived nearby, nobody knew anything. Some didn't even remember who she was--that's how fast she moved in and moved out.

Certain I didn't invent her. But who moves halfway across the country for two months? Sure would like to get to the bottom of that...in a book.

Sausalitoapallooza

I'll be reading from Emergency Anthems this Tuesday (April 7) at the Sausalito Public Library.

As opposed to the Sausalito Private Library.

That's the sexier one of the two.

I was born in Marin General Hospital, which isn't too far away--maybe I'll get there early and see if anyone remembers me.

At any rate, you should come. And bring all your friends. And have them bring all their friends.
