    Instead, Vegas. Then a reroute to Oakland. Then 11am arrival. Then an Uber to the Hilton. By noon, we staggered into the exhibition area & found what every exhibitor dreams of: everyone else already set up, smiling, functional, alive. I was the last booth standing in pieces.

    Naturally I told folks celebrities always arrive late.

    The machine tried to chew us up, but failed.

    By afternoon, people were stopping by who knew me from SM, mutual worthies, etcetera.

    Then the day got weirder & better: I sold out of my 3rd book, Pantheon Heterogenia. Not the 1st volume which I usually overpack cuz it's the realiable little workhorse. No, the 3rd book. Gone.

    Since Day 1 was only the opening act & Thursday/Friday are supposed to be heavier traffic, I may be forced to disappoint a few customers. A tragic condition, very literary.

    After a bizarre "dinner with the president" in the exhibition area, my old buddy & I escaped to the best cigar lounge in town, Cigar Bar & Grill. Some long distance friendships survive on text messages, shared obsessions & the stubborn refusal to disappear. This one does.

    Still nothing beats sitting across from someone in person, $30 cigar smoke in the air, the day behind you & the whole circus waiting to burn brighter tomorrow.
