May 3, Houston: The big one -- the Inprint reading -- occurs at the Alley Theatre on Monday, May 3. Do not miss it or you'll be sorry. I'm not kidding -- I'm going to say the craziest, most intellectual yet hilarious stuff I can think of, and I'll be sharing the stage with the ultra sexy Oscar Casares, too.
June 24, Houston: I'm one of the peeps scheduled to read at Poison Pen, at Houston's famous Poison Girl bar. Besides me, everyone there will be ultra, *super* sexy. Come see me and drink!
June 26, Washington, DC: I'll be reading at the American Library Association conference. Come on down.
My other blog: Go read my the Houston Chronicle parenting blog (or my ChronMomBlog, as I like to call it) and make sure my kids won't resent me more than other kids resent their own parents.
Buy my new novel, Lone Star Legend. Already did? Well, buy a few more for your friends, then. :)

Jesus Christ!I'm gonna say it again: Cavemen cracked me up. And now it's canceled. Already!
The web is full of dumb asses panning it. Not that I'm saying that disliking the show makes you a dumb ass -- just that most of the "reviews" I've read so far happen to be written by dumb asses. ("The concept was lame from the start! It wasn't funny! It had no jokes!")
Best: Uber liberals (Or are they conservatives in disguise?) claiming it's racist. What the hell? Why, because it addresses stereotypes that have been applied to one or more non-white races? What -- no one can talk about racism without being racist? Jesus effing Christ.
Finally, I see George Lopez is complaining that Cavemen took his slot, that Chicanos can't be on TV but cavemen can.
Oye, George. Maybe people -- this Chicana included -- are tired as hell of a show about a fat old guy with a hot young wife who considers his daughter's choice of panties a familia value. Eh, huey? Call America Ferrera and ask if they replaced her with cavemen, too.
Okay, that was mean. (Albeit true.) But I'm cranky. I was excited about having a funny show to watch, and now it's gone.

I didn't like it at all - I thought it was boring and unfunny - but my husband sort of did. It was growing on him by the end. But where did you read that it was cancelled? I can't see anything about that.# posted by

Don't just take this lying down! Make phone calls! Write letters! Because, after all, "The problem with doing nothing is that you don't know when you're done."

I don't doubt it was canceled but where can I read that it was canceled? I want to send the link to my man friend who loves the show.

Hmm. Maybe it wasn't. I heard it was, then I read a bunch of bulletin board posts that assumed it was, and now that y'all are asking me, I can't find one piece of hard evidence.
Also, I can no longer remembered which is the British spelling: canceled or cancelled.

P.P.S. Also, my Tifaux doesn't list any eps past the second one. :(

Hi Gwen - I was wondering if you had heard of this book; Look Me in the Eye:My Life With Asperger's Syndrome by John Elder Robison. He's Augusten Burrows' brother, I recently saw an interview with him, it was interesting.
Your book is on my Amazon list, as soon as I hear what my next book club pick is I will place my order (because it has to be $25, I'm a sucker for the free shipping) I can't wait to read it.
The conversation with your son made my heart sink, you're so right, a-hole kids usually come from a-hole parents. I have been a teacher for 12 years and I firmly believe in that whole apple not falling far from the tree thing.
Thanks for such an enjoyable blog.
Jane

My DVR lists the one for next Wednesday - "Nick falls for a hot cavewomen at a yogurt shop". I'm still taping it for my husband. I'll hope for your sake, anyway, that it doesn't get cancelled.
