What a wonderful evening last night at Samuel Akainyah Gallery. Julieanna Richardson and Linda Mensch outdid themselves: a beautiful spread of delicious eatables, and a wonderful crowd. Thanks to all who braved the weather to be there. It was my first chance to read (myself) to a crowd, and it was fun! Thanks for being so receptive, and for buying so many books! (Great stocking stuffers!) And, a very special thanks to Samuel Akainyah. If you haven’t seen his cubist or impressionist art, make a special effort to stop by: 357 W. Erie. Vibrant colors and highly imaginative.
