CKC’s can’t afford to buy any more books. I’ll be part of the street team, though!

Catching up after a month hiatus. Glad I started at the top of the list. ?OD: Hmmm, Chistmas is only 7.5 months away. I see gifts for the CKCs on the list. (OK, one for me too.)

What book?!?!? Just kidding big guy! Kudos all around, and deservedly so. Yeah, I’ll have one to go.

Hey, how about a shout out to all the Graduating Seniors in the CKC nation? Also, the book looks cool, can’t wait to read it.

Hey, congrats on the book. I’m definitely going to get a copy, maybe even go on Amazon and piggy back it with Season Six and Seven of Buffy, although maybe I’m pushing it with Buffy, coveting too much of a good thing, dabbling in demystification. I see big marketing potential for the book in the middle of toxic/industrial/post-industrial landscapes, on small patches of dirt and prickly grass along the Fish House Road or the McCarter Highway or Flushing Ave. where hawkers can sell the book from rustic stalls while conducting tastings and grilling blood sausages, chicken skins and ramps and asparagus.

QOTD: I am most definately going to buy this book…….that is, if you promise to come to San Francisco for a signing.

God bless, Gary.

BEST QUOTE EVER!: “This Champagne Reminds Me of Zelda!” Gary, I will definitely pump your book; I know a few Wine & Spirits store owners in the Albany NY / Capital Region area, and will try to get them to carry your book!

Hey congrats Gary. I’m getting one… maybe two. When it comes out can you please do the free shipping on some(or all) of the wines mentioned. I can’t promise I’ll get the 101 but a good dozen to begin for sure.

Cheers

Put me down for three books. How close will you be to Michigan on your book signings.

QOTD: I never, ever post, but I am breaking my own personal rule for you, Gary. Congrats on the book! I will definitely be purchasing several copies to hand out to my restaurant staff! By the way, if you love Salon, you will love (or maybe already love) Henri Giraud’s ‘96 Fut de Chene. It is one of my all time favorite Champagnes…

QOTD: Yesy Yes! I’ll buy two. BTW… you should also publish your book for the Amazon Kindle. Cheers.

Btw- for the sake of smelling/tasting the wine, consider a wine glass for sparklers. Of course… switch to the flute for guests.

Congratulations on the book… when it comes right down to it… that’s cool.

Just ordered two books and can’t wait for them to arrive – actually I will wait because I selected free shipping so that I’ll have more to spend on wine!

QOTD: I’ll buy one… still on the fence about buying two… we’ll see.
