Festa San Jordi and La Diva Cubista
April 23, 2013
This Festa San Jordi we set up a kiosk in front of our Partners in Rhyme headquarters. My friend Ernesto translated 6 stories from Whatever Happened to Suzuki Beane?
San Jordi is a popular holiday in Barcelona, with florists and authors cashing in everywhere. We were surprised to sell 28 copies of La Diva Cubista y Otros Relatos
for 3 euros each. I also sold 1 copy of Horizontal Rain and 2 copies of Whatever Happened to Suzuki Beane?
Not bad for a day’s work. Thank you Shakespeare and Cervantes. (see original Festa San Jordi blog for back story.)
We had a small celebration afterwards in our Gracia headquarters with old friends:
1- Jordi and Sol
1- San Jordi Cake
Marta with boyfriend Karafa, both featured in multiple past blogs.
1- Quixote (bored) ignoring girlfriend Lupe.
Later, I traded a book at the local marihuana dispensary for this big spliff:
A good time was had by all, and it felt great to sign so many copies of my work. Life is good!
I love Festa San Jordi
