On June 29, 2014 - I read from my book at the historic Vroman's in Pasadena.  The video is cut off a bit at the beginning but you missed nothing important.  Pardon my speed-talking.  It was my first ever reading and I was a little nervous - both for reasons you might expect and also - I must confess - I wasn't sure that the walls of Vroman's had ever been assaulted with the language I was about to throw out there.  I'm serious.  I used probably the most offensive word in American English - and said it into a mic in mixed company.  Enjoy!
