Hello All --

Thanks for coming to the talk on 6/16 and for coming to the Central Coast! My hope was to blow the lid off local and put it back on, so I'd love the hear any comments you might have. (I know I tend to mumble, and will continue to work on that!)

I've posted links to some of the things we talked about, but if you would like me to run down any other info, just drop me an email and I'll do my best.

Thanks again and remember to vote with your fork!

If you can't find these books at your local independent bookstore, you can get them here at Powell's. (yes, it's an online purchase, but you would be supporting their beloved bricks & mortar bookstore in Portland. Again ... choices!)
