My friend Michael Sokolove (aka Mr. Ann Gerhart) has a new book out, Drama High: The Incredible True Story of a Brilliant Teacher, a Struggling Town, and the Magic of Theater.
It’s a great read, even if you think you know everything about the experience of high-school drama clubs, “Glee,” etc. I have three copies (ALL GONE) to give away and I’ll get them signed for you this weekend at the book party! How to win: Email me. Don’t reply to this blog post; don’t send me a Facebook message. Email me: hank [at] hank’sfirstandlastname [dot] com. First-come, first-served! Good luck! (Break a leg?) UPDATE: They’re all gone!
It so happens that I wound up in Houston on the Monday night that the Texans were playing the Tennessee Titans, which, I gather from the traffic jams on the way to my reading at Brazos Books, was a big game for Houstonites. They lost. I care about that about this much, but I could have done without the gridlock, you sports-obsessed America, you.
