June 12th - 28th, 2008 - After a string of sold-out shows in April and May, The Marsh Studio Theater in San Francisco has added nine performances of Strange Travel Suggestions through June — at 8 pm Thursdays and Fridays, and 5 pm on Saturdays (which means you can beat traffic, see the show, and catch dinner afterwards).

June 24th - 26th, 2008 - I’ll be a breakfast speaker at the annual NATJA (North American Travel Journalists Association) Conference in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

May 17th and 24th, 2008 - After a stunning month of sold-out shows, The Marsh Studio Theater has added two more performances of Strange Travel Suggestions in May.

For reservations, please call Brown Paper Tickets at 1-800-838-3006 or visit The Marsh’s Strange Travel website.
