So hot off the press the ink isn’t dry. “No Red Lights” by @alanjpatricof is fantastic - buy it - also, my first blurb! I’ll be interviewing Alan at the Fitler Club in Philadelphia on May 17th - if you’re a member sign up, if not email or DM me. https://www.amazon.com/No-Red-Lights-Reflections-Venture/dp/1637582935 https://t.co/9fdPk1Xz7P

I had the same experience a few years ago while reading a The Last Days of Night book. It also traveled to Philadelphia and one of the reasons it got funded was New Yorkers didn’t want to lose it. Another reason was individual donors got their names printed in the paper. https://twitter.com/richarderoeper/status/1484327144184422404
