A few days ago, on Friday, October 11, Schoolkids Records in Raleigh hosted an event for my book, Wilcopedia: A Comprehensive Guide to the Music of America’s Best Band. I was joined by Doug MacMillan, lead singer for the local power pop legends, the Connells, who moderated the reading/signing.
The evening was made fairly lively by Bill Sullivan, former tour manager for the Replacements among other bands (Soul Asylum, Bright Eyes, Yo La Tengo, Cat Power, The New Pornographers, Spoon, and Jimmie Vaughan). Sullivan asked a lot of questions during the Q & A, including a few that stumped me, or at least caught me off guard - like, “What was your diet while writing the book?” Here’s a picture of Sullivan and I:
Anyway it was a fun time in which I sold some books, met some cool people, and gained some more confidence talking in front of a group of folks. I look forward to more events - stay tuned to this space for info about future engagements.
Thanks to Schoolkids for having me come and talk Wilcopedia - it was a blast. And now, I’ll leave you with this photo taken inside the restroom by my friend, Anthony Rhodes:
Daniel Cook Johnson's Wilcopedia: A Comprehensive Guide to the Music of America’s Best Band is available for order here.
