Also picked up a copy of "Preacha Man", one i've wanted to read for a while.

I love hearing the voice that you lend to this community and love supporting your various advocacy works. Ironically on the day of your reading, I had sent a letter to Dave Fellerath who had reviewed the book for the Independent, and in our dialogues back and forth, I was curious how the 27 were picked...since there were others of our voices who I felt should have been heard and which would have caused even more voices and views to be heard....and which would have clearly added to the diversity in the room....but once again let it be known that the minister of culture, My Dad's nickname for me which has been adopted by others, wants you to STAY!!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01340665044233507550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155133175831479740.post-78969078978145863552012-09-28T20:44:56.673-04:002012-09-28T20:44:56.673-04:00That was a great and very true blog.
