I went and checked out Neal Pollack at Bookpeople tonight. He read a few excerpts from the book, Alternadad, a memoir set mostly during the time that he lived in Austin. He read a bit from his blog<\/a> at the end. He followed the reading with a Q&A which included a question about his reaction to the David Brooks column<\/a> that slammed his book without actually mentioning his name. Nice.<\/p>\n

He’ll be appearing two more times: once at the Rock n Romp at Mohawk<\/a> on Sunday and once during his SXSW panel<\/a> on Monday.<\/p>\n

I recognized Amanda Marcotte<\/a>, who made the news recently as the blogger who was hounded out of the John Edwards campaign, in the audience along with Michael Barnett who used to write for Austinist<\/a> and, apparently, several of Pollack’s old neighbors. From one Alternadad to another, I gave him a copy of my band’s<\/a> CD. I picked up a copy of the book and he inscribed it “For Tim, there’s nothing in here you don’t already know. Rock On.”<\/p>\n

Rock on, indeed. He’s here until Monday. Check him out if you have the chance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
