Barbara Sueko McGuire likes to put important things in safe places and then immediately forget where said safe place is. She also likes peanut butter and the color gray. She does not like loud, bossy and annoying small children. She believes in love, but not in forever, always or never. Currently, you can find her serving neighborhood regulars in the morning and drunk party people in the wee hours at Swingers, in West Hollywood. She has spent the past four years in New York, but recently moved back to Los Angeles (where she was born and raised) and now lives in Thai Town. She misses New York every day and made this book while she was there.
