Saturday, April 11, 6pm: they’ve invited me back to be a “celebrity” judge at SoupyFest III at the United Theatre in Westerly, Rhode Island! Yes, I will be eating at least 1 pound of soppressatta on stage, and I maintain there is no one in the world more qualified. I’m only putting this event on here to brag; it’s already sold out and I couldn’t even get a ticket for myself.

Friday, April 17, 6pm: An Evening in Italy wine & cheese tasting, The Little Point Bookshop, Point Pleasant, NJ—tickets are $99. Must be 21 years of age to attend. For more information/tickets, click here.

Thursday, April 23 - Sunday, April 26: Malice Domestic convention in Bethesda, MD.

May 18-24: Italian Diaspora Writing Seminar with the University of Calabria in Cetraro, Calabria
