Back to Indiana

Eventful summer. Announcing that I am going back to Indiana in the Fall to Bouchercon (http://www.bouchercon2009.com/) -- the largest convention of mystery/crime writers and fans. Last year it was in Baltimore, where we talked a lot about the wire. It's great fun and since I've been on Twitter (hey, come follow me @allisondavis531), I've met a lot of interesting writers. I may even "tweet up" with some in new orleans when I'm there in October.

I held a "coming out" party -- a house concert for myself really, and had Judy Butterfield (http://www.judybutterfield.com/) and Mindi Hadan (http://www.mindihadan.com/) accompanied by Ken Muir (http://www.kenmuir.com/) and a wonderful jazz trio (Brian Hill, Jeff Ardziejewski and Spence Murray). It was Saturday...I made all the food and arranged the room. I had friends set up the sound system and stage. Here's some more pics:

I made cerviche, boiled shrimp, potato salad with no mayo, guacamole and these fabulous skewers of heirloom cherry tomatoes, mozerella and basil...I made nearly 100 of them. All got eaten!
