My family and I are off to Washington State for our Forgotten Hollywood Forgotten History book-tour through the Pacific Northwest. We’ll be making three stops in our week-long trip: EDMONDS - BOTHELL - SEATTLE

The 2010 EDMONDS INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL will be in full-swing. On Saturday, October 23rd, I’ll be making 3 appearances including:

CAFE DE PARIS - A Hollywood-style lunch, classic film discussion, and a book-signing begins at 11:45a. Cafe De Paris is at 109 Main St.

EDMONDS BOOKSHOP – An autograph party is planned at 3:30p. The book store’s address is 111 5th Ave. South

EDMONDS THEATRE – VIP Red Carpet Movie Screening is on tap starting at 7:30p. The theatre is located at 415 Main St.

My entourage (wife and parents) and I will also attend a Saturday Pre-Show Mixer at The Loft, and an Awards Brunch at Cafe De Paris on Sunday. These VIP events will give us a chance to mingle with event participants including my publicist Barbara Kindness; PBS travel guru Rick Steves; and Trevor Greenfield, co-producer of the five-day Festival. It’s still not too late to purchase tickets to the various festivities.

On Monday, I’ll be having a reunion dinner with folks in Bothell from the Book Publishers Network and Danforth Distribution. This will be a chance to relax with my friends who helped me publish, and who currently distribute Forgotten Hollywood Forgotten History.                    

My wife Laurie and I plan on seeing the sites including a visit to the Space Needle, The Seattle Underground Tour, and Mount Ranier. We definitely want to take in the flavor of the Pacific Northwest. I’ll have my laptop to log in reports on my blog. I sure hope we don’t get too wet, since this is the rainy season.
