Outdated and Feministing events in the Bay Area for November

It’s time to show California some love!

Outdated: Why Dating is Ruining Your Love Life book party and reading

I am excited, nervous and having “I can’t believe it” moments every few hours or so, as to be expected. I held the first real life copy of it last weekend and did this weird mixture of tears, laughter and almost fainting. I had a similar reaction when I read my first review a few weeks ago in Publisher’s Weekly.

If you are in the NYC area we will be having a Feministing book release party at Littlefield in Brooklyn, NY on October 7th starting at 7pm. ...
