Sunset Trip book party at Rough Trade East.
I'm going to London for the first time since 1992. It was Halloween, the first *legal* rave in London I got to dance at for a bit, on top of visiting various house parties.

Motivational Talk: Radio Guest on LoLo Knows
If you ever wanted hear me blab about the music industry, art, Joan Crawford, my awesome husband, and why after everything I've been through medically I just suck it up (despite a cat sitting on my catheter bag), well then, you are in luck!

Book Tour Recap: Dixie-Narco edition
It's been a while since I got back from my husband's book tour, but a lot of photos later I am finally updating about it.
