Yesterday I was in Santa Cruz and neighboring Capitola for the day. I was happy because my old SJSU student turned journalist Gary Singh wrote a great article about me in the Santa Cruz Metro<\/i><\/a>. “It's so California, you just wanna scream, Yeah! Which was always the best thing about Rucker's novels anyway: You'd find profound high-tech Silicon Valley right amid rock & roll, '60s radicalism, counterculture and the fourth dimension.”<\/p>\n

I was in town to give a reading at the Capitola Book Cafe. They had my name on a marquee. I was scared to go in. I was scared nobody would show up.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We had nearly 20 people, not bad. I knew a few of them. Karen Joy Fowler even turned up unexpectedly (in red).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And Nick Herbert<\/a> was there, who helped me figure out the character of Frank Shook for my novel Saucer Wisdom<\/i><\/a>. Of course Nick himself bears no resemblance to actual people living or dead! I discuss Nick's concepts of matter and consciousness in my Lifebox<\/i><\/a> tome. I hope to feature some of his poetry in the Spring issue of my webzine Flurb<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n
