Okay, I’m rewriting my comments from below as a post so more people will see it. Ah, the limitless power of being a Shameless blogger!
For fans of grrrl (and judging from Holland’s post below, there ought to be plenty), Jennifer Whiteford is on a book tour right now as part of the Perpetual Motion Roadshow. If you’re in Montreal, she’ll be reading from the novel at Bibliograph/e Zine Library‘s first birthday party on Wednesday June 21st. Also featured will be satirist/puppeteer Jeff Cottrill, ephemera artist Daniel Trese, Daniel McKell and Mark Harris. Did I mention cake, zine sale and dancing? Bibliograph/e is part of Cafe Toc Toc, 6091 Ave. du Parc (corner Van Horne). Show starts at 8, pay-what-you-can.
In Toronto, Jen will be reading on June 23rd at Renaissance Cafe (1938 Danforth Ave.) w/ irreverent songwriter Shawn Sage and post-modern theatrical poet Andrea Thompson! Check out the Roadshow’s website for the rest of the tour dates, and more info on the Roadshow itself, which is pretty rad.
For those of you who can’t make it, I’ll be sure to let you know how it goes.

Hi Shameless Ladies
I'm so glad you liked my book! It was written for the kind of women who write for and read Shameless.
I just wanted to clarify my tour schedule. I was supposed to read tonight in Montreal but I had to leave the tour for a bunch of reasons so I won't actually be there. The Ottawa reading at Venus Envy has been cancelled, and I was never going to be reading in Toronto, since I already read at Clinton's on June 6th. Hopefully there will be another Toronto reading in the late summer and I will also reschedule the Ottawa and Montreal readings and keep you posted!
rock on
Jennifer

Please do Jen! I missed your launch (weekends confusion) but would love for you to sign my copy.
