Tales, Tidbits, and Tips
Obviously, one of the great things about living in the DC area is the chance to see interesting creative people perform. Many times you get a chance to talk personally with them before or after their presentation. Here, in no particular order, are a half-dozen of my favorites that I got a chance to talk with privately in 2012.
- Jonathan Kozol (author,writes about education, poverty, social issues)
- Bobby Keys (sax player for The Rolling Stones)
- Ed Rendell (politician and author)
- George Pelecanos (writer of DC crime noir fiction)
- Douglas Brinkley (historian and author)
- Trevor Potter (political attorney and legal adviser for Stephen Colbert)
