I’m going to be in Vegas in August and set aside an afternoon (8/21) to go but that randomly is the only day of the month that doesn’t have a “celebrity” guide listed. I’ll mostly be hunting for bits and pieces from the Anthrax Club I used to go to back in the 80’s that my friend Chris had donated to the museum along with other ephemera.

I would 100% be down for a 3-4.5 hour Keith tour. Those are some lucky folks that got to see that! Glad you missed plowing into the burros and they became good narrative fuel. Keep up the good work!

Keith: “it’s not mine” had me laughing my ass off! Very funny, I can even hear his voice saying it. Excited to read a new novel by you in the future!

"The whole book felt like that: the words clamoring to get out. I think any writer will tell you that when you feel this urgency, you have to listen because it’s not always like this."

One thousand percent. I feel like these are gifts from Somewhere Else, and you have to fully embrace them when they happen.

Somewhere Else is such an interesting way to put it. I’m certain that’s how our spouses see it!

I genuinely enjoy living the writer's life vicariously through your work and (mis)adventures. Totally worth the paid subscription.

Thank you, Scott! On one of these trips I'd like to pick your brain about places to explore in Nevada!
