You guys are awesome! Keep 'em coming, I can take it! I greedily want all.the.ideas. Where is monster monster, our non profit goddess extraordinaire?
Lhamo, I adore the main Seattle Public Library! Here's a quick tale. I was dating a guy who lived in Seattle, but he spent a lot of time in the Bay Area, so I mostly saw him when he was here. When we were planning my first trip to Seattle, I asked to go to the library. My heart knew he wasn't the one when his next comments were: "Why do you want to go there?", " How do you know about it?" And "I've never been there". In that moment, his true inner troll was revealed. He (obviously) didn't work out, but the library did not disappoint. Some years later, I took my *husband* there. He loved it, which is part of why I love him so. Hmmm, perhaps the main Seattle Library saved me from marrying the wrong guy. Could it really be??
Okay, funny thing about writers. Unless they are cookbook authors with bitchin' kitchens, they don't generally cotton to the idea of hosting strangers, even library geeks, in their homes. Occasionally, one will agree to an appearance at a dinner hosted at someone else's home, but in general, they seem to be an introverted bunch, lol. Kinda like here.
