Who wants a visitor?

[salixbabylon]

OK, so I had another one of my wacky ideas and I'm just going with it: I want to do a road trip/book tour this spring. In April or May, probably.

I think I'll drive down to LA, stop and see my mom in Arizona, maybe head out to Texas, across the South to Florida, up to New York, and back across the Midwest to Chicago, to Seattle and down through Oregon back home.

Something that would make this actually feasible would be the possibility of staying with friends rather than paying for motels for two or three weeks. So if you know me fairly well and feel like it might be fun to have a houseguest for no more than two nights (I'm very tidy and I cook!), I'd love to combine some friend-visiting into my plans. I have several f-list friends I've met in person who can vouch for me not being a serial-killer or unduly pervy in non-pervy settings (i.e. I'm child-proof. Spouse- and parent-proof, too.)

Anyone? I can even bring an air mattress and my own pillow. ;)

Let me know ASAP if you're interested in hooking up so I can start seeing what bookstores are in what areas and if they'd be willing to carry my book/do an author signing/workshop.

Thanks!

No Toronto?? *puppy dog eyes*

I know. The border would be hell with a car full of smuttiness. And you're going to go see second_banana I insist you call me from her place!!! Threeway!

Wow, you seriously did read my whole blog, didn't you? I must have awesome guilt-inspiring powers.

Maybe I will go North first, steal s_b and bring her to you. Can I have a reward if I do that? *wiggles eyebrows* ;)

Yes - I've been desperately trying to get caught up on flist-iness and failing in an epic manner, but this is the end of reading week, so I didn't have six lectures to listen to, and four articles to read, and a book to review and a paper to write, so I'm actually not failing so much!

And no guilt at all - merely an excellent suggestion of a way to spend some free time. (Also, the Dwarf has been sporadically emplyed the last couple of weeks, and that makes it even harder for me to get things done, but he's at work today and this evening.)

You cannot even imagine the reward. It would involve ridiculous amounts of lube...
