Next Week in My Book Tour: Washington and Oregon

Hit Powell's on Burnside last night... (4.00 / 3)

First time I've been there in a couple weeks, but I was happy to see that there's now a stack of your books in the big "Upcoming Author Appearances" case, next to the information desk just as you walk in the main W. Burnside & 10th Avenue entrance.

I smiled.

:)

You're also down in the Orange Room (Couch Street entrance) in the Sustainable Foods section.

But not at the Powell's branch by me (yet?), on SE Hawthorne.  Hope that changes soon!

Coming soon to a Philadelphia near you!

Stop in Olympia (4.00 / 4)

You could stop in Olympia on one of your free days.  We have one of the largest true farmers markets on the west coast (www.olympiafarmersmarket.com). We also have a wonderful food co-op with two locations (www.olympiafood.coop).

Cheers,

Joel

I'd really like to visit Olympia (4.00 / 2)

Don't know how I'd get there, and it's a bit last minute. But I've heard great things about it and I'd love to go there.

You're still welcome to come on out to the farm (4.00 / 4)

and visit if you have time. :-) I know you're schedule is probably pretty tight.

I really, really, really (4.00 / 2)

want to visit your farm. I don't know how I'll get there since my PDX hostess has no car, but we'll figure something out.

Getting out here by bus would probably (4.00 / 1)

take about 3 hours. I have a truck but I can only haul one person at a time. I could come in and pick you up, but that would leave your hostess hanging if she'd like to come out too.

Jill Richardson "well-done." (4.00 / 1)

Dearest Jill . . .

You, your book, and your blog have taken me on quite a tour.

In the last few hours I have learned so much.  Congratulations not only to you, but also to the many who I trust will experience you as a mentor.

The Village Voice; Wow!!!!!!!!!!!  AlterNet; astounding!  The content in each essay, even more magnificent!!!!!!!!!  It would seem many might muse "Jill Richardson, "well-done."
