Wednesday nite
I went with AC tonight to see Glen David Gold read at Casa Romantica Cultural Center and Gardens in San Clemente today. Gold wrote a big, bestselling book called Carter Beats the Devil, which is a pretty good name for a book, and is finishing up a new novel called Sunnyside, which he read [...]
