The crabwalk.com Summer Tour 2002 is set to begin! From August 9 to 18, I’ll be touring our nation’s northern tier (and Ontario’s southern tier), meeting with friends and readers and probably drinking too much. (Call it a “listening tour.”) I’ll be stopping in Boston, Toronto, and Toledo. Parties interested in buying me a beer are asked to file the appropriate paperwork soon.

Aha ... so who is the sugar mama buying your ticket? Or is it only on trips to the Bay Area that you require the host to pay? Enjoy Toledo. Wish I could be there!

Happy travels! Would that you were passing through NYC, but you've already got an ambitious agenda.

Lisa: lying's not attractive. You don't wish you were in Toledo.

Lets do lunch when you're in T-town.

I'd appreciate it if you'd delay your arrival in Toledo at least a couple days...I've run into some red tape getting clearance from the Port Authority for the African elephants and seven troupes of gong-banging belly dancers in your welcome parade.

Alas, I will most likely miss your Northern Tour because I'll probably be in God's Country (North Dakota for the nonbelievers) that same time. However, it's possible I might be there the last day you're in town if Toledo is your last stop.

Josh, I do not lie and neither does Gerald Hall, apparently.

Armed with pens, notepads, and a discerning eye for what tourists seek out on leisurely weekends, travel writers from as far away as Vancouver and New York stopped through Toledo yesterday for a quick tour of what the Glass City has to offer.

What Gerald Hall found was "impressive" and "encouraging."
