The only significant error made in the otherwise spot on reporting here was in relation to our 2014 Tsunami Books appearance, which was heralded by a five-photo RG Sunday features spread.

Marc Waszkiewicz chose not to drive to Eugene (from the Seattle area) for the event due to complications from a recent surgical procedure. His doctor informed him he could have a heart attack if he were under any more stress. So he stayed home.  Marc prides himself on NEVER missing a "gig." He is totally reliable. He wanted me to cancel since he could not make the trip. I chose (somewhat against his wishes) to go ahead with the Tsunami event because far too many organizations were involved and too much very visible promotion had been generated.  We ended up having roughly 100 guests that night. I played what roles Marc would've filled, and (aside from me being an emotional wreck by the end of the event), it went great! 

Our eventual benefactor ($28,000 in VITAL donations)  discovered us that night.
