Columbus event

Columbus was an interesting dudd. Interesting because one hour before my talk I was informed that I would need to wear shoes (which I don't have on the tour). We thought there was a chance I would be denied entry. That did not happen; I was in fact welcomed politely, bare feet at all.

The event was a dudd because only one person showed up - SBL member Greg. Greg and I (and the event coordinator) enjoyed a good hour together, but it would've been nice to have a few more in the audience. Apparently, the event was not publicized at all by the library, the event was not even listed on its website!

Oh well. I had a great time with Greg, and the library event coordinator got an earfull as to why barefoot is better and businesses (and libraries) should not have a "shoe rule."

  1. My apologies for not being able to make it, but I had a vacation planned in northern Wisconsin.

    I did contact Emily Riemer of the local fox news station, who had done a story about my statehouse battle, and I gave a copy of the book to Joe Blundo of the Columbus Dispatch (who had done a story on me in the past), but it looks like neither of these efforts amounted to much.
