Anyone interested in grabbing a beer after work on Thursday is welcome to join us at The Irish Bank. We'll be sitting in a corner, talking about the latest developments, meeting interesting people -- the folks from the Sacramento Book Review will be stopping by, as will Bonnie Kaufman and Chris Kahn, all of whom were p...rofiled in the newsletter this month.
Bring anyone you like! They must like books though. Or beer. Best would be both.
Look for a woman in a black bowler hat and red lipstick. Feel free to buy her a beer.
