BOOKSMITH BOOKSWAP, LITQUAKE Edition!
Eat, Drink Talk, Swap (Books)!
Booksmith's wildly fun Bookswap moves out of the store to Martin Macks for a Litquake special edition.
Presented in collaboration Litquake and with fabulous wordsmith guests including Oscar Villalon, Holly Payne, and K.M. Soehnlein.
What:
Join The Booksmith for the only Litquake event that celebrates YOU, the Reader. The Bookswap is a truly unique event: participants have the chance to reflect on their most treasured reads and learn about dozens of new, fantastic books; the evening culminates in a rowdy (and always entertaining) swap – think cocktail party, with a bookish twist.
Since its inception last year, The Booksmith Bookswap has SOLD OUT every time and has received rave (“the most unique book event…ever!”; “a great place to meet smart, creative, like-minded people”) reviews from all who participate.
For the Litquake edition,
bibliovores from across the city will convene at Martin Macks, a very fun Irish
pub in the Haight Ashbury. We’ll have hilarious and interesting book-y
conversation starters, amazing writers, wine and beer, and the best pub fare in
all of
Who:
You! This event is for anyone who has ever loved a book and craved the chance to convince more folks to read it. You’ll also meet amazing writers and a big group of passionate readers like you.
Where:
Booksmith, 1644 Haight Street, San Francisco
Not Martin Macks you ask? Well, see, the Giants make it (whew!) into the playoffs finally -- loyal fans and Martin Macks habitues go crazy, like everyone else --
it's inevitable that we'll be "kicked out" for 10/7, 'cause the first playoff game's
that evening. A pretty good excuse, if you ask us. In any case,
Bookswap convenes down the block from the bar, at The Booksmith!
When:
Thursday, October 7, 6:30 – 9:30 PM
