Video of Reading in Mequon

Man, I’ve already put some miles on since then, but fun to see the folks at Next Chapter Bookshop in Mequon posted a video of me reading from Coop.  The next morning I checked out of my hotel room in Milwaukee and drove to Hartford, Wisconsin, did a reading and a Long Beds concert, then drove to Madison only to discover I left all my clean clothes in Milwaukee.
