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—he of the gentle and mellifluous piano playing, and gorgeous hair—is on piano from 6 pm to 8 pm in the Fireside Room. Don't forget to tip him! I won't be there tonight to remind everyone to tip him, so please take it upon yourself. The tip jar is on the piano.

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.
