Oooo, I should know better than to read your food posts before lunch! I'm sorry I missed out on the dinner fun. The Ellen Forney reading was a treat. She's doing a full-on,, multimedia extravaganza on Sept. 14 at Northwest Film Forum (http://www.nwfilmforum.org/). It's $9 but includes MC Sarah Rudinoff, burlesque and a Led Zepplin cover band. I've got it on my calendar.
