iN lAS Gidi AGAiN!
I got out of school this morning heading out to Silverbird galleria with the intent of presenting my book at the Silverbird bookjam after I received a call from the organiser yesterday to that effect. The bookjam holds every last Saturday of every month, it's basically book reading, interaction with the authors, book signing and raffle draw.
On getting there the guy convinced me otherwise; it was gonna be very difficult and almost impossible for him to give me a slot. But I didn't mind though because he gave a better offer, a scriptural verse humorously comes to mind right now-"for your shame you shall receive double"
So for missing out of this one, he's giving me two outings in return
July30 - Abuja
July31 - Lagos
I'll keep u guys posted.
Well, I had a nice time....1st book reading I'm attending....coincidentally ran into that FD's journalist sef. Seyi Oguntokun was in attendance n some other big boys in d world of arts n literature.
I tried tracking Tosyn Bucknor @ Terra, but by the time we got there - after bookjam ended - she was already out. We had a nice time at Terra, we were able to get a good view of the hall and all. July9 will be mega!!!!
We spent about 30mins admiring books at their bookstore....d books Nigerians are printing now are world class!!! Maddddddd concepts, quality print!
The Terra kulture guy that gave me discounts the other time even bought me a book from their stands...he just believes in me! He told me it sounded like a joke when he told the board that I paid for hall space for the launch of a book that is not yet in print!
I can just imagine how dramatic it would have sounded but u know "we walk not by sight but by faith"
The printer is done printing, all he's doing now is allowing the paper to dry up before binding and by Wednesday, I collect!
God keeps surprising me each day, delivering a unique love gift to my doorsteps, giving me cause to burst forth into jubilations and rejoicing.
Got home 8:30pm and my plate of Amala n Ewedu soup was waiting for me....that kitchen will know I'm around in these next couple of days.....eat endlessly! Lol
In las gidi again!
