Hitting The Road for West Coast Earth Day Book Tour…tour…tour…tour…

Paul — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 23:59:22 +0000

I’m heading this week for a West Coast book tour. Now I know what you’re thinking: Dear god, why would anyone want to go listen this idiot read from some book about cocktails, organic or not?

Don’t worry, this idiot won’t be reading. He’ll be shaking. As in making tasty cocktails, which if you come to any of these events, you’ll be able to drink. Think of these as parties that just happen to have some books lying around. Books you can, if you feel so inclined, purchase. Did I mention what fine photography there is in this book? Along with recipes for great drinks?

In other words, perfect eco-conscious gifts.

So if you or any friends, family, colleagues, non-violent former cellmates, happen to be in Los Angeles, Scottsdale, San Francisco and Portland, come find out why organic cocktails are tasty – and better for the planet.

I’ll be in Los Angeles on Monday, April 19, for an Earth Day kick-off party at the O Bar & Kitchen at downtown’s O Hotel from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Sponsored by TRU Organic Spirits and Skylight Books.

I’ll be at The Spa at Camelback Inn in Scottsdale, Arizona, on Tuesday, April 20, from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.

I’ll be at San Francisco’s Elixir on Thursday, April 22 (Earth Day!) from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., sponsored by Square One Organic Spirits.

And I’ll be at Portland, Oregon’s Teardrop Lounge on Friday, April 23, for a happy hour party sponsored by Harvard Common Press and Imbibe Magazine.

In blatant power grab, President Obama cuts into my TV debut in which I blather on about my indescribably important book about organic cocktails!

I talk about how “a glass is just a funny-looking plate” and other kakamamie thoughts on organic cocktails in today’s St. Pete Times piece about my book

Being part of a triumvirate sounds heroic – even when it involves cookbooks, dammit!

Tampa Trib food writer Jeff Houck graciously includes me in roundup of Tampa cookbook author trio. I mean triumvirate!!!

I blither about spanking thyme, cellophane-wrapped tongues and other things obviously relevant to making and enjoying organic cocktails
