Is the Pyramid going to host a book signing this May?

Haven't heard but they usually do.... Keri??????????

It was cancelled last year... first time since 2003... We hope the economy improves and the fear factor reduces, so it can resume someday!

I'll be signing books at Sharkey's next week. Just gather up some books and bring 'em in and I'll sign them.

as long as it's not the first Saturday of May...which is Mexico's Labor Day AND the chili cook-off in San Felipe!
Udo - 3-3-2010 at 08:32 PM
Sign me up for the two days. Just don't make it mother's day weekend.
Also, let's bring back the tequila tasting...bring over your favorite tequila for everyone's tasting. I'll bring a case of little tasting cups.
The other thing that could work:
Bring any of your old books, for either giving away or trading them. While you are at it...bring your old bathing suits (also for trading).
The weekend should be a blast!

Hi Everyone, Well I'm waiting for an ok from the owners but they and I must say myself , are concerned about what kind of turnout we will have.
Tourism is down as you all know. There is not any people down here. the economy , the cartels playing their games and having to have a passport have
made big changes down here. How many of you would attend the booksigning? How many authors would come? As David suggested come for the day and stay
for the night so you can enjoy the potluck and the tequila tasting.. It would be the first weekend in may. Mothers day is the second weekend and
people stay home to be with their Mothers at that time. After that is to close to memorial day, I'd love to have some feed back. Let me know what you
think, It will help us in the decision making.Thanks Mucho,k

Does that mean that we will enjoy the company of the Punta Banda Yacht Club team once again? It was great fun cookin between you guys and the
purveyor of "Horse c-ck Chili". (No animals were harmed in the making of that chili)
If you make it and have time, you are invited down for a South Campos welcome Rum Runner. Mr & Mrs Big Mike too
Sorry about the hijack

We would love to come. Has the pet policy changed? Can't do La Salina again. Rob
Udo - 3-4-2010 at 10:48 PM
This is a terrific amount of work for Keri to pull this off. Things must be coordinated with authors as well as the hotel.
Let's help her out and show our support, both north as well as south of the border.
Udo - 3-4-2010 at 10:51 PM
The tequila tasting alone should bring a sizeable amount of Nomads!
Hey...how about if the Nomads that show up autograph each bottle of tequila brought in.
An autographed bottle will look pretty cool among one's collection!
Bob H - 3-4-2010 at 11:27 PM
First weekend in May.... I would be interested, for sure.

Udo - 3-5-2010 at 06:35 PM
First weekend works for me also, but I'll go with the flow.
bajabound2005 - 3-5-2010 at 06:40 PM
first weekend does not work for us because we'll be in San Felipe with Udo's chili recipe to beat BajaRob's butt. Not the Yacht Club this time, Rob,
just Vince and me!
woody with a view - 3-5-2010 at 06:43 PM
we might be in. but that would mean DK buying Pacificos all night whilst trying to persuade me he means no harm...... including tequila, it might not
be worth the hangover......
David K - 3-5-2010 at 06:48 PM
So it's going to cost me big time, huh Woodster?
woody with a view - 3-5-2010 at 06:52 PM
after Dennis, i might qualify as a "drinker."
Udo - 3-5-2010 at 08:24 PM
If tequila is there...we're all drinkers
Kathleen
BajaRob - 3-6-2010 at 06:13 AM
Even though your stated purpose is to kick my burro (and I hope that you do), you and Vince are still invited to our place for Rum Runners or the
libation of your choice. Will miss Big Mike.
Keri
BajaRob - 3-7-2010 at 09:31 AM
What say you? We're interested.
David K - 3-11-2010 at 09:13 AM
UMMM???
Not a lot of excitement... Perhaps more Nomads are affraid to cross or are just more broke than 2 years ago?
It was a fun time, for 6 straight years! Thanks Keri and Bernie and all who helped make them happen!
KASHEYDOG - 3-18-2010 at 02:35 PM
I'd come too !!! I really missed it last year. I'll even bring a bottle of tequilla and some chow to share with everybody. Thanks, Keri, for all the
hard work you put into this. If there is anything I can help with call me. I'd be happy to help with the set up or whatever you need that day.

The silence on this seems to indicate that another year will go by without Keri's great Baja Book Signing Event...
Let's hope the U.S. economy improves and Mexican crime rate drops so there can be an event next year!
Also, we need some more Baja books to be published... Baja Lera, how's yours coming along?
Bob H - 3-21-2010 at 12:23 PM
Yes, I would like to see this event come back, for sure. It is a very enjoyable time and a great location!
Bob H
David K - 3-23-2010 at 07:46 AM
Maybe 2011... Keri called me last night and confirmed no event this year.
So Bob, party at your house instead???
capt. mike - 3-23-2010 at 08:25 AM
Bob - DO IT!! throw a party, i'll come ASSIST in the drinkin' dept...
