6/13, Friday. 7pm.
Walked up to
Elliott Bay Book for an author reading event.
Jess Walter is in town
promoting his new book So Far Gone.
My bad of arriving late. Thankfully there were still a couple of seats left.
I really enjoy listen to Jess Walter. During Q&A, he talked about arranging short stories into a collection, his growing up in rural WA, his father, his brother.
He also mentioned that his books are more hopeful as he gets older and sees more ugly truths, or rather he tries to be more hopeful.
This is the 3rd time (all in this year) I hear him talking. Will go again.

The stupid reason of being late, is that before the book talk, I went to an open house of
COVE, a waterfront restaurant and bar. They do catering.
Free food and drink (nothing extraordinary). Good view.
I over-estimated my speed for eating and walking!
