Happy Labor Day!
Where does the summer go? Amidst all of the exciting things that have been going on (more on that in a minute!), Tracey and I spent the last couple of weekends (since my return from my Parisian sojourn) out in the Hamptons. We always have the best time when we’re on the east end – and this weekend was no exception: barbecues, beach, water-skiing on Montauk Lake...
It’s funny, though—back in the day, we would have raged every night until 4am, been up bright and early and on the beach all day (perhaps even knocking back a few Bud Lights in between sets of frisbee, football and Kadima) until we had to had to go to work at the Star Room, Resort, and/or the Talkhouse. Now, our weekends are admittedly a little more staid—cooking huge, delicious dinners and drinking lots of wine with our significant others and another couple or two, and then playing Trivial Pursuit.
My, how we’ve grown!
But now back to the really exciting stuff. Cocktail Therapy (www.givemecocktailtherapy.com) is flying off the shelves, and we are over the moon! There’s been a huge media response: check out http://www.nydailynews.com/lifestyle/food/2007/08/10/2007-08-10_sips_and_the_city-2.html and http://www.foodandwine.com/blogs/mouthing-off/Cocktails?startRow=11 for starters. We also have a few events on tap, which promise to be amazing.
First, on September 20th, Simon & Schuster is flying us off to Chicago, where we’ll appear on the TV/online hybrid talk show “In the Loop” with iVillage Live (http://intheloop.ivillage.com/). If Tracey and I have our way, we will fit a little Q.T. with Oprah—keep your fingers crossed!
Then, we partnered up with Saks Fifth Avenue and an amazing non-profit called Fertile Hope (www.fertilehope.org), which was started by our friend Lindsay, to do two events in San Francisco and Austin (Oct. 19th and 20th, respectively). Basically, it’s a great shopping event where Saks donates a percentage of proceeds from sales to Fertile Hope. Then, in addition to the thrilling appearance/reading/signing by your two favorite authors, there will be DJ’s, food, and of course, cocktails. We will post more information on these events in the next couple of weeks.
Next, save the date: October 11 is our official launch party for Cocktail Therapy here in Manhattan. If you don’t receive the email invite in the next week or so, check back here—we will update with the party details.
Also, we have been guests on several Sirius radio shows. We had a great time drinking sangria with Candace Bushnell, while dishing about the book. And Maxim radio and Cosmo radio were both tremendous experiences – we are now campaigning for our own call-in radio show!
That’s all for now. Now that Tracey and I are back in business (and in the same city again), our updates will be much more frequent. Thanks for your support!!
