An open mic and three readings going on tonight.

First, we’ve got Kathleen O’Brien and Kathleen Smith at Elliott Bay Book Company reading from their book The Northwest Green Home Primer. If you own—or are planning to own—a green home in the northwest and you can’t make it out tonight, don’t worry: the authors are reading or have read at almost every single bookstore in Seattle, except possibly the Seattle Mystery Bookshop.

Richard Price is reading today after a free screening of Clockers, which is a film adapted from Price’s most famous novel. It might be too late to get onto the list for this, but if you want to try, the e-mail address to RSVP is rsvp@thewarrenreport.com.

And Sumie Kawakami is reading from Goodbye Madame Butterfly, which is a book created from a number of interviews with Japanese women about the modern state of Japanese womanhood.

Also, Norwescon is going on all day today in SeaTac from nine in the morning until two in the morning and I will be continuing my three day liveblog of the science fiction festival.
