Matthew Stokoe is the author of Cows, High Life, Empty Mile, and Colony of Whores. We connected years ago when I ran CherryBleeds.com, but this was our first meeting in person because he lives far away, or, from his POV I live far away. And, he brought his lovely wife Elizabeth, and we chatted in Larchmont Village.

Steve Almond is the author of (Not That You Asked): Rants, Exploits, and Obsessions. He came on Drinks with Tony in 2008 when promoting that book. His other books include Bad Stories and Against Football.
