An Evening with Tom Lucas at the Kerouac House

The video from my recent author talk is now available!

Put together by the awesome John King (the Drunken Odyssey podcast), this evening at the Kerouac House (Orlando, FL) gave me the opportunity to revisit previous works and read a little from the new book, Research Randy and the Mystery of Grandma’s Half-eaten Pie of Despair.

(Which could use some reviews on Amazon or Goodreads, if you are so inclined)

Although no one sat in the front row, I assure you that there was a room full of people in front of me…at least I think so.

I recently had the opportunity to be a featured reader at one of Orlando’s finest regular gatherings of literary types, drunks, and those that check off both boxes — Loose Lips.

Hosted by John King, who also hosts the long-running lit podcast/website, The Drunken Odyssey with John King, recorded the entire show which is now available on iTunes and for download.

Listen, and the title of this post will make complete sense. Don’t, and live out the rest of your life haunted by a nagging emptiness and general lack of completion.

I finished out the night, so I’m at the end. However, you should check out the other readers…that being said, the guy before me was a stand-up comedian who thought it was a general open-mic, not scheduled readers. He is just off-the-cuff and it’s well-worn material — single vs. married, sex, etc. Not for everyone, but you decide for yourself.
