PPA Party (AKA Free Booze)

For this week's literary event, I'm going the easy route. The PPA Cocktail Party is tonight, so if you can get your boss to cough up $75 ($65 for members), head on over to Fig & Olive Fifth Avenue at 6 pm for free drinks, free snacks, and tons of publicity people crammed into one space.

Motherfuckin' Snakes at a Motherfuckin' Bookstore

The obvious choice for this week's literary event would be Thrillerfest, but eh. I doubt any of you will go unless you're working it. Instead, let's go with another thrilling (ha ha) event: Quick Thrills from Out-of-Towners. Eight writers (Mario Acavedo, Laura Benedict, J.T. Ellison, Michelle Gagon, Shane Gericke, Tim Maleeny, Alexandra Sokoloff, and the ever-popular Lee Child) this Thursday, 8:00 pm, at the Park Avenue Borders.

No booze, I'm afraid, but one lucky reader will win....AN EIGHT FOOT PLUSH SNAKE (yep, that's the actual snake to your right). Rockin'. I've been told, off the record, that you could probably smuggle in your own flask if you wish.

Do tell,

The Editor
