Books and Beer: September 15 2018

Our first Books and Beer reading event on June 9 was an unqualified success.  We packed the 'secret' back room at the neighborhood pub with poets, drunks, and other subversives.

Four authors donated books to the raffle, and about $100 went to the local food co-op.  We also had plenty of open-mic participants.








Our next event is planned for Saturday September 15 2018 at 7:30PM.  The Facebook invitation is here: https://www.facebook.com/events/216218155773416/

Yes!


I write neo-nazi manifestos that degrade others that don't look or think like me.  Can I participate?

?:?? - raffle drawing for books from group 1 writers
