The Unconventional Book Tour Comes to Denver!

I stumbled across Chris' book a month ago when Amazon was doing its thing recommending other books I may like, and this time they got my attention. All I needed was to see the word "ART" really big, and then "Non Conformity"....Go on..... So my thing lately is to get the book from the library first, and if I love it then I'll buy it. I put the book on hold before Boulder Library even received it, and got it crispy fresh a few days later.

So I'm finishing the book on the airplane back to CO from Alabama where I was for a week for my grandmother's funeral. She was an inspiration in my life, and I was considering her legacy. I hadn't thought much about what my own legacy will be until that week, so the end of Chris' book had perfect timing. He mentions the Unconventional Book Tour near the end of the book as I'm landing in Houston, and I make a note to self to look up his schedule. Luckily I was able to catch him in Denver and take some photos of the amazing group of people that were there. (Sitting room only at West Side Books). If I had finished the book a few days earlier I could've caught him in Birmingham, we were there the same week. It all works out though doesn't it?
Oh and yes, I bought the book.

Hey Sharon! I'm so glad we've connected... your photos are wonderful, and they captured the night well. All the best with everything to come in the near and far future.

Yours in World Domination,
