Just finished your book. Terrific. I plan to give it to a former student of mine who just graduated from Columbia Law School and doesn’t want to practice law. He needs your “sex and cash theory.” After being in advertising for 10 years, then an English teacher for 13 years, I took a sabbatical. Bought an rv and planned to travel the country and study Spanish — I met someone, retired and have been on the road ever since. Dreams do come true — I just didn’t know that I had this dream. Best of luck on your new book -

Epic idea. I trust you’re taking plenty of product for your personal sampling pleasure?

Having just read “Ignore”
How about changing #2 to Best selling IMPORTED wine in Texas ???
Alt would be to outsell Texan wine (G)

Hey Hugh
If it is good enough for you to get off your ars.. then you have inspired me to do the same in my neck of the wood. Starting this week I am hitting the road and all the small towns around the North Island of NZ to spread the word about by small winery Salvare. There is a limited amount of wine you can sell sitting around waiting for the phone to ring i.e. NONE.
Have a great trip.

Hey, Hugh.
Stop in and see my friends Gigi and Morgan Sullivan at WineStyles Montgomery Plaza in Fort Worth (on 7th street). They are (a) great people, (b) Morgan is a musician, and © Gigi has a great palate. Fort Worth needs Stormhoek wines.

Have a great trip — I let the person next to me on the bus read parts of your book today — it was a 30 minute ride, so he didn’t get through the whole thing, but I think I saw him walk into Borders right after…

Here’s to not having a plan…[downs a shot of cheap tequila]. Wake me up when I can hook some ‘hoek in Mexico. My employer has seen fit to pluck me from Texas before I got a chance to taste it and I’m bound for el D.F.

Hey Hugh, don’t forget to send a postcard! Maybe that way you won’t clutter up my Twitter Box with 5,000 tweets a day :-p
Oh, and don’t drink and drive! Or is that legal in Texas…?

Just as long as you don’t actually talk to anyone Hugh — that would spoil the seminal nature of the “marketing” effort

Seeing as how you’re in Alpine you have quiet the trip up I-10 to any civilization Make sure you check out the Sam Houston statue and the Texas Prison Museum in my hometown of Huntsville, TX. Wish I were still in Texas so I could meet you. Looking forward to receiving your book in the mail.
