Something New
Hi Y'all!
--I am stealing that from Paula Dean. She reminds me of the Shake and Bake girl--
You know how some bookstores will do really cool things within the store that qualify as events, but don't always have an author attached to them? Things like, reading stories to little kids at certain times of the day or hosting a book club discussion for any group who might have read a book and wants to talk about it? For a while, given the long history in most of our stores, we haven't tried to have events of this type in any of our locations.
---UNTIL NOW!---
Do you own children? Do you get tired of reading the same old stories to these children? Would your life improve if someone else would read new, exciting and different stories to them while you sipped a latte? I know mine would, and I don't even have kids.
The second Wednesday of every month, pile your kids into the mini-van, grab a roll of duct tape, and head over to Crystal City. Get there early and duct tape the kids onto a section of the floor then run grab a coffee and get back in time for a great story told by one of our staff members.
What? You are not the proud owner of kids? What about a stomach? You have one of those right? Skip that first Wednesday then and head down to Crystal on the Third Wednesday of the month for "Tastings at Crystal City" (Patent pending).
We are inviting a local chefs, cookbook authors, crazy people that make a good duck confit, etc. to come over and bring samples. Roll on in with the girlfriend or boyfriend and make a date out of trying fine, little bites of heavenly-goodness. Who knows, you might even learn how to produce the items that on offer from our chef in your own kitchen. Or if you are like Alexis, you can produce the items in someone else's kitchen then run for it so you don't have to clean up.
What if you don't like food, and you don't like/have children maybe you still read books. Have you ever wondered if other people read the same books as you? Have you even wanted to talk to these people in a face-to-face showdown of your superior intellect? I have the perfect thing for you to do. Come on down to Crystal City on the Third Wednesday of each month for the Book Club discussions.
One of our brainy and yet friendly staff members will be holding book discussions based on a book they are excited about. We will tell you in advance what the book will be, but if you are looking around and see that we are talking about a book you have read, come on down and try to match wits with the crack team of book readers that are already hanging out. I swear, a good time will be had by all. If you are worried about fights, our staff are all trained in Capoeira and can break up any fight that comes along.
So that is all I am talking about this week. To see what is on tap at the stores this week, click the events link and don't forget to read.
