Today was a splendid day. It began bright and early with a radio interview at WKKC on the Focus Talk with Dennis Snipe Radio Show. From there we went to Lincoln Mall in Matteson, IL. While there I had my first experience of getting my eyebrows threaded! I had seen it on TV but I’ve never known of an actual place where I could go and get it done. It is an amazing technique where you get your eyebrows arched using thread. You would have to see it to understand it, and I am far too sleepy to describe it for you in a clear way right now.
After getting a whole new workout clothes wardrobe made up of clearance rack items at Old Navy I got ready for my first book signing at Azizi Books. The traffic was light but it felt so great to be supporting an independent book store.
From there we headed straight to Da Book Joint in Chicago. It had a nice homey feel and I was surrounded by the owner and her family which gave it all a very welcoming touch. My book signing was scheduled to end at eight, but we ended up staying there until midnight swapping Chicago style dances for Detroit Style dances and having an overall funky good time.
When I come to Chicago, I usually do all of the tourist attraction type stuff….but this time I felt like I saw another side of my birthplace. Since I left here and moved to Detroit at the age of two, I never really experienced the city like I could have.
For the first time in all of the years that I have come to visit, Chi town felt a little bit like ho
me.
P.S. I think I want to open a bookstore
