A few updates for forthcoming things related to Brian this year and next. First, this year. For Mr. Jacques' second known US tour stop of 2007, he will be in Pittsburgh at the Carnegie Library Lecture Hall at 10:30 AM, Saturday October 20th. The event description is as follows: There is no known cost as this time, so it may be free to attend! Next, some 2008 news: Brian has written the introduction for a Puffin re-issue of the Kenneth Grahame 1908 classic The Wind in the Willows.
