Hey there! By reading this you are a member of the literary, the discerning, the (at present) precious few seeking Gary Alan McBride, and, well, you got me. While you’re here you may as well check out, in descending order of importance, my writings, organized in the menu above, my professional activities via my blog postings, and, if you must, my latest Tweets and (seriously?) Facebook wall.
I’m active in the local Boulder community: I host a few radio programs on KGNU-FM, I lead the Writers Who Read literary forensics group, and I frequently attend Dairy Arts Center events and other vaguely artistic thingies. Does craft beer count?
If you want to connect, you could social-media the hell out of me, but if you’d like a response, I suggest you give me a shout.
Hey, Boulder…I’ve started a book club–for writers! Oh, I said that part already. Anyway, the first meeting will be Wednesday, August 1, 2018, at 7PM in Boulder, Colorado. (Almost) all the details are here.
UPDATE (Jan 1, 2020): We’re now called Writers Who Read and we meet the first Sunday of the month at 4pm at the Main Boulder Public Library. Check out our upcoming books–hope you can join us!
