On Saturday mornings, a white tent appears on North Circle as the town wakes. Almost Heaven, a pop-up bakery, isn’t a storefront yet. It’s a window. Miss it, and it’s gone. Idyllwild sees its share of weekend ventures — operations that crest the hill with the tourists and disappear by dusk. That pattern is part…...

What a great event! Not only having a great movie star like Karen Black visit the area, but also getting to know more about Eduardo and his creative process. "Tomorrow They Will Kiss" (his first book is an inspiring, "must-read" novel) and his next one, "Midnight Mambo" (from which he read the first chapter) promises to be another winner. My friends and I hope attend more events like this one in the near future.
So sorry I couldn't be there. You know how much I loved "Tomorrow They Will Kiss" and you know I've loved Karen Black since "Trilogy of Terror." (By the way, you both look awesome!)
Looking forward to the next series!
This was a terrific afternoon. Ms Black showed no sign of a star's ego as she asked interesting, probing questions. Thank you, Eduardo, for arranging this series. I hope it won't be the last one!
