Two events going on tonight, in what is probably a tremendous readings-related hangover from the first big summer weekend in the Northwest. First up is the Mellow Mondays open mic at Bai Pai Thai, up in Ravenna. I haven’t been, myself, but I hear that it’s a pretty laid-back open mic, as far as they go.

And at Elliott Bay Book Company, Carol Cassella reads from Oxygen, which is a medical thriller about a Seattle “anesthesiologist at the height of her profession.” Her process suddenly goes wrong and a patient dies, and she must figure out what went wrong. Reading the summary of the novel on Cassella’s website, I think that I’ve already figured out what happened. But I kind of like the cover, so there’s that.
