we won!

Angelos and I won the Northern California Book Reviewers award for Maribor. Very honored to have been selected (esp in light of who we were up against: Josh Edwards and Kurt Beals). The ceremony and reception were great, so much warmth in the room. Serendipitously the Greek-Independence Day Parade was happening along Market st. outside. Afterwords Angelos, Thea Anna and my parents headed over to Ikaros in Oakland for celebratory ouzo and Mythos beer. Such a fantastic day.
