The amazing Jacqueline Tabor and other Seattle jazz greats last night at Benaroya Hall.
Damn good friends.
Two great guys but my spoon is too small.
Forgot to share my favorite picture from an October visit to Poly @poly_k12 to talk about my #WarheadMemoir. The audience of 400+ was engaged throughout, and they had so many thoughtful questions. Such a delight! @polyalumni
A walk around the block
Award winning New York Times journalists Julie Hirschfeld Davis and Michael D. Shear speaking about Trump’s despicable immigration policy at Town Hall Seattle. Powerful stuff.
#HappyHalloween from my friends at Hi Spot
Author, instructor, and friend Alison Singh Gee invited me to talk to her amazing writing students at UCLA. We had a lovely discussion. Thanks to all for the opportunity to speak with you!
Saw the amazing Rachel Maddow at Benaroya Hall. A powerful intellectual who is nevertheless relatable. She had the audience transfixed throughout.
Took my buddy to Elliott Bay Book Company and we learned that I’m “snarky in the best way.” Love it!
