Last night we stayed with comics' own Dustin Harbin in Charlotte, NC and his adorable dog Buddy. The alternate name of this tour is, by the way, the "Petting Dogs Across America" tour.
Dustin has been a great host and even cooked us grits this morning! Yesterday we gave a talk at Duke in Durham, NC and upon arriving at the grand campus of Duke University we stumbled across the rare books room, which was amazing.
The talk at Duke went decently, we had maybe 12 people in the audience because the room was kind of hard for people to find (including us, haha) but there was a bunch of free food and we even sold a couple of books to new readers, which is always cool. The staff at Duke were amazingly helpful and kind and we truly appreciated their generosity in trying to help us out on our tour.
In addition to reading from our books, we took part in a panel discussion moderated by Rob Clough on the topic of gender in relation to our work. After the event, we milled around signing books and talking to people and then drove Rob in the Grimace to a Mexican joint in town called Chubby's, where I ate a burrito the size of Gabby's head.
We had a great time hanging out with Rob and his wife at Chubby's until it was time to head to Dustin's house for the night.
Tonight: Asheville!
