Free parking in clouds

When you have a Misfit pass, parking is free in the clouds. While the Magical Misfit Book Mobile will normally be pulled by my truck, I can't control its magical powers-and it will most likely float around too. Raggedy Man will pop out of his dutch door to greet passers by, and young girls will swoon over the pig-that is if I can squeeze him into the 5' x 8' mobile. 15 days left to get funding.

Will we make it?

The Misfits tend to be an optimistic bunch, which also fuels magic which fuels their Mobile. I will stick with that answer.

Pino is ready to travel!

Pino and I are very excited for our first ever Bookmobile of Love! What started as a wacky thought has turned into a real deal. Lucia will also accompany us into hipster land–Portland! We will be selling our books, journal and postcards and some lavender too.

What do I wear to a Bookmobile with donkeys? I'll ponder as I sleep.

Hopefully some of my blog readers might show up. I'll be the one with hair stumps and a donkey or two at my side.

The donkey has a book mobile!

I've been wanting to do this for a long time, and am finally going to take the leap! Pino and I will be hauling our...er, hauling ourselves into Portland in May to have our first Pino Bookmobile of Love event!

Thanks to a friend of Apifera [and lifetime admirer and girlfriend of Stevie the goat], Pino and I have a place to do a pop-up book event. I mean why shouldn't there be pop-up donkey events. We will be selling our books and Misfit Mail of Love postcards too. I'll probably bring some lavender as well.

But most importantly, Pino will be there doing what he does best-standing politely and oozing patience and donkeyness. Since it is his first event away from the farm, we will be bringing his little sister, Lucia, also who usually gets a lot of attention in her own right.

This event is in the heart of NE Portland. Pino and I worried we weren't hip enough. We rarely get off the farm and when we do, we find we are falling behind in hipster trends. Pino is excited though, he's never met a real live hipster and is hoping some come to his Bookmobile.

I hope this will be the first of many Pino Bookmobiles, and I hope to see some of you there!
