What Terrible Book is Young Clare Reading?

Well, since you asked, I'll tell you that young Clare is reading a new children's book about adults being lewd and stupid in Japan. It's called Tune in Tokyo: The Gaijin Diaries, and even though it's a children's book, it is definitely not for kids.

Buy one for yours!

(Clare is reading the chapter about the magic mushrooms and the vaginas.)

Dirty SexxxPics from Tune in Tokyo Book Launch

Folks, one of these days I will blog about something else besides the book that I'm pimping like the dickens. But until that sad, sad day, I'll find some reason, however dubious and downright offensive, to flog this terrible/wonderful chunk of literature.

My dear friend Sarah Pasell was the official TiT photographer and she got some great pics of the proceedings (in a VERY dimly lit room) before it devolved into a desperate and sweaty display of human nudity.


This crowd is thirsty.


Kristen Elde reading about boobs.


Is that Rachel Roth over there on the right? I think it is. Thanks for the cake, Roth. It's dank.


Sarah just told me she heard that Lady Gaga and Kate Perry are cutting each other in the hallway. (It ended up being just two drag queens fighting over a wig.)


A rare sighting of Jimmy out in the wild.


Edmund II playing some lovely tunes from his forthcoming CD "Floating Monk."


Stone cold readin'.


Pull back and.....scene!




Thanks for coming everyone! For real, it was an awesome evening and I hope you had fun. Happy reading!

Book Launch!

Muchos arigatos to everyone who came out last night. It was a great party! And I think everyone liked the cookies I heated up in the oven, dropped on the floor, then passed around the bar.

If anyone has pics from the event, please send them to me via this blog or my book site (there's a link to email me on the main page) or the other blog. Or just "upload" the photos to the "Internet" somewhere (Sarah Palin's facebook page?)

Tune in Tokyo: The Gaijin Diaries Book Launch 2nite!

TiT Party! KGB Bar! 7pm! Bring your friends and any D-list celebrities you might know.

I'm bringing cookies...

Time Out New York Book Launch Mention

There’s a nice little write-up of the book launch party on the Time Out New York site here. I’m starting to feel the pressure to make pie...

Book Launch Party Validation Dept.

Ok, the Tune in Tokyo book launch is now officially happening because it’s listed in the Village Voice, or at least on their site.
