SANDLIN TAKES NEW NOVEL ON THE ROAD JAN. 29: Jackson’s Tim Sandlin will launch a book tour for his new novel, Jimi Hendrix Turns Eighty, on Monday, Jan. 29, 7:30-8:30 p.m. with a talk and signing at Boulder Bookstore, 1107 Pearl St., Boulder, Colo. On Tuesday, Jan. 30, 5:30-7 p.m., Tim will sign books at Off the Beaten Path Bookstore in Steamboat Springs, Colo. Hell be at the Tattered Cover Bookstore, 1628 16th St., in Denver on Wednesday, Jan. 31, 7:30-8:30 p.m. Novelist Christopher Moore had this to say about the book: "Part Cuckoo's Nest, part Acid Test, and part Alamo, Jimi Hendrix Turns Eighty shows us that to awaken the passion and idealism we thought flatlined at thirty, we need only to slip it a dose of sunshine and poke it with stick of sandalwood. Tim Sandlin takes us on a comic flashback to the future that can give you the giggles and the willies at the same time. What a trip! Pound for pound, Tim’s stuff is as tight and funny as anyone doing this comedy novel thing." Tim, a a one-time Wyoming Arts Council fellowship recipient, documented his 1997 book tour for Deep West: A Literary Tour of Wyoming, available through Wyoming's Pronghorn Press.
