Nightlife / Books Confirmed Guests for the Silent-Reading Party Tomorrow Night: Lesley Hazleton, Aaron Bagley, and Jen Graves!!

Posted by Christopher Frizzelle on Tue, Dec 6, 2011 at 2:27 PM

That's right! The Genius Award-winning author Lesley Hazleton, the artist Aaron Bagley, and the art critic Jen Graves will be in attendance at tomorrow night's silent-reading party. That means they will be sitting there in comfy chairs at the Sorrento Hotel's Fireside Room drinking and reading to themselves whatever they feel like reading while everyone else does the same.

Because a bunch of people reading in public is so much more fun than reading at home alone.

Other delights of the silent-reading party: an actual fire, a $5 Manhattan drink special (made with Woodford Reserve), and the musician Kyle O'Quin playing classical piano. In honor of tomorrow being the 70th anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Kyle's promised to play some gloomy tunes, including Chopin's funeral march.

Fun! As always: 900 Madison Street, 6 pm, all ages, free.

My sons and I will be attending tomorrow (yeah soccer is finally over!) for the first time. My twelve year old thinks I should bring homemade cookies. I don't know whether this is appropriate. This is a place of business. Wouldn't they frown at that? I would appreciate input from those that actually attend.

No cookies. They want you to buy drinks and appetizers off the lounge menu.
