[CAR-PGa] Re: Read an RPG Book in Public Week 2011 Starts on Sunday!

Wrote an article supporting the event:

There's some ugly buzz on RPG forums that basically amount to "reading
RPGs in public is dumb" so I felt I had to refute the point. This is
as much about advocacy and bringing new players into the fold as it is
about the act of reading a RPG book itself.
