It's the first Wednesday of the month! Which means the reading party is tonight. You know what it's like at the reading party, right? (If you don't, just click on those letters.) You know how relaxing the silent-reading party is, right? If not, listen to this radio show about it.

Paul Matthew Moore is the one playing piano on that radio recording, and he'll be playing at the Fireside Room tonight. His piano-playing is exquisite, perfect for reading to, perfect for staring into the middle distance while you're pretending to read...

For the uninitiated: You sit and read whatever you feel like reading (silently, to yourself), while live music plays and waiters bring you things. That's it! The reading party happens here, it's all ages, and it's free.
