With the closing of DV, what other kind of promotion might you end up
doing for this release? Might you do other local book signings, or
something like the UCLA Festival of Books or BEA at the end of May? Just
wondering, as I know this is a smaller press, so the book won't be as
easy to find as some of the big publishers stuff. And, as usual, it's
always nice to see you, and promoting your written material is more
relaxed then one of your shows.

It's a smaller press, but it's distributed by Simon and Schuster, so my
understanding is that it'll be in all the major chains, like Borders and Barnes
and Noble and others.

Have literally just signed the thing, so we haven't had a chance to talk PR.
