East Coast we're heading to you! In less than a week we'll be all up in your business with Toro Bravo: Stories. Recipes. No Bull. The bulls are running and we've got a lot of horns pointed in your direction for book events in New York, Baltimore, DC and Jersey City.
Our entire remaining tour schedule can be found here. The East Coast bulls include John and me, McSweeney's editor Rachel Khong, Toro's charcuterie manager Josh Scofield and tour DJ extraordinaire Mike Wathen aka DJ Waffle.
At every event we'll have food, music, drink and books along with a discussion between John, Rachel and me about everything from blood sausage to red pants wearing Spanish men. It's going to be a whole lot of fun and we hope we get to see you at one of more events and/or that you'll be so kind as to help us spread the word about them. The more in attendance the merrier!
We've also had some great media lately since the book came out less than a month ago that I'm shouting out here. We have some very exciting media planned for the East Coast (one in particular!) that I'm itching to share but can't quite yet. After these links and the tour info. there are a bunch of photos from recent Toro book events.
