While in San Francisco I taped a segment with Leigh Glaser for the local ABC show View From the Bay. It aired Friday and you can watch it right now. The kids were awesome. I was completely terrified that they would hate the dumplings, and they loved them.

As you know, _Hungry Monkey_ will be released in Germany in October as [Lirum larum Löffelstiel: Kulinarische Abenteuer mit einem Kleinkind](http://is.gd/2Ex8j). (Actually, Amazon says September. Even better.) But did you know it's going to have this awesome cover?
If they send me to Germany on book tour, I imagine it will be exactly like the movie _Top Secret._ People will keep saying, "Your papers, please," in fake German accents. Later, a party functionary will give a cloying welcome to the visiting American author and ask if he could be persuaded to read a selection from his masterwork, and I will kick over Philip Roth on the way to the stage.

I spent a great week in San Francisco and did three readings, all of which went well, but the best was on Friday at Books Inc in Alameda. I was relaxed enough by that point to kick off the event with a comedy routine about San Francisco hipsters, which I assure you is highly related to my book.

I will not be signing any of my books other than _Hungry Monkey_ on this tour...
...Since this is the net, I should specify that this is a joke. I haven't written any other books, unless you count my out-of-print book _1001 Pirate Jokes_...
...Okay, fine, it was _1001 Erotic Pirate Haiku._
