MOTT STREET and I hit the ground running this year with tour dates in more than 7 different cities, including San Francisco, L.A., Boston, Seattle, Austin, TX and Miami, with several events in my hometown of NYC. It’s been a wonderful, wild ride.

I can’t thank everyone enough for coming out. I met new friends and got reacquainted with former classmates—including friends from elementary school and high school who are now living all across the country. My favorite moments were seeing school chums that I hadn’t seen in decades, as well as those wonderful moments when folks afterwards introduced themselves as former residents of NY Chinatown who knew my family. You all are the best.

My last event of the year will be a wonderful little Meet & Greet at YU & ME Books, 2pm-4pm, SAT. 12/2. Many of you may know that Yu & Me’s space on Mulberry Street suffered from a fire last summer, and the owner, Lucy Yu, pivoted to moving the entire operation to a pop-up at Essex Market’s Market Line (basement). If you’re on the Lower East Side or downtown, come on by, say hello, and support this lovely bookstore with the big heart.

Can’t wait to see you!
