Absolutely. He picks smaller venues b/c, I get the sense, he just feels so much more comfy at them. I think some other who have met him would agree. And he is very, very approachable. He does not make you feel like you are putting him out or anything of the sort. Literally one of the sweetest, most humble people I've met. Thanks for asking!

Anon, I e-mailed the host of the event, and the answer was a resounding YES! And if you bring a book...perhaps not the travel memoir but one of the anthologies he wrote with Don George, I'm sure he would sign it too. And a picture perhaps? I sure hope you go! And if you do, please post back. We love stories!!
