It’s been a busy fall–I’ve been on and off the road for months, and I leave again in a few days. I’m really excited about the next leg of my tour, which includes the Wisconsin Book Festival and four dates opening for my friends The Magnetic Fields. If you live in Detroit, Pittsburgh, or DC, get your tickets here!

But that’s not all! There are lots other of exciting things happening in November. Here’s a brief list of things I’m looking forward to this month.

-Voting! I really can’t wait. Do you know where your polling station is? Things are all messed up in the Northeast because of Hurricane Sandy’s path, so make sure you know where to go.

-The Vampire Diaries! Soapy, ridiculous, and just the ticket. Availble on Netflix Instant.

-New baubles from my darlings at Ban.do!

-Saltie (my favorite lunch spot in the world) has a new cookbook.

I’m also cooking up some ideas about some Laura Lamont-themed holiday events, about which I will keep you posted.

Happy November!

love,

Emma
