.Just Another Soldier - Long Island book event!
Greetings!
A quick note for those who live in the NYC area (or those who have been waiting for the divine impetus to finally visit the 21st century manifestation of ancient Rome): This Thursday, October 11th at 8pm, I will be speaking at Book Revue in Huntington, NY with Colby Buzzell, the author of My War: Killing Time in Iraq, and Paul Rieckhoff, the executive director of IAVA (Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America) and author of Chasing Ghosts: A Soldier's Fight for America from Baghdad to Washington.
Book Revue is a classy little book store in Long Island that has hosted many notable authors including President Bill Clinton, J.K. Rowling, Anne Rice, Julie Andrews, Jane Fonda, Bill O'Reilly, and most importantly, Bruce Campbell.
My friend Mark Goodro and his family will be in town on their first visit to Gotham from Salt Lake City, so it would really help me look cool to my friends if you came. Seriously. I just filed my taxes for the last five years (after illegally downloading Turbo Tax for each year from various disreputable torrent websites [to include a small and ongoing porn-subscription fiasco]-- no small feat when you figure how few losers there are who haven't filed taxes since 2002) and realized that if my girlfriend finds out how non-lucrative an "aspiring writer" boyfriend who is still working on his undergrad literature degree is (especially when compared to her rock star brother-in-law), I'll have a lot of Jedi-grade tap dancing to perform.
If you think you might be able to make it, shoot me an email at jason@justanothersoldier.com and we'll make plans to at least get a drink. Colby's being flown in from Los Angeles just for this event so we should probably do something special for him, like get him drunk at the Olive Garden.
