Hi Gela1964,
although I live in europe, I went to borders.com, then to "stores", wrote "austin" and find that store, and then went to "events".

There's no Leonard, at least for now.

sorry, gela1964, this is only for a store at Westgate Marketplace.
Second shop is on Research Blvd., see http://www.bordersstores.com/events/eve ... toreID=103
There ain't Leonard Cohen, also... in March.

I find this so unlikely that it should be in the sci-fi category. There may be a Cohen doing a reading, but that "don't " make him Leonard.

We can all be Leonard Cohen. There is not a real Leonard Cohen, just as Moses was not a real historical person, or Luther or the ugly duckling. They are all symbols collecting a huge amount of text. We will recieve much more from these symbols if we stop trying to locate them in history. There never was a Leonard Cohen, Im sorry get over it, read the texts instead.

And [sort of

] along that line, there may be someone [happily] sharing our Leonard's name and doing a reading of some sort. His mother may have been a fan, or may have simply liked the name Leonard. Wouldn't be the first

There's one Leonard Cohen, famous historian who wrote book about former Yugoslavia... My girlfriend's father knows him, he lives in Washington DC...
