Nightlife / Books It's the First Wednesday of the Month, Which Means That in an Hour and a Half, This Is Going to Be Happening

Posted by Christopher Frizzelle on Wed, Dec 7, 2011 at 4:35 PM

Looks relaxing, huh? If you've never come to the silent-reading party before, you ought to try it. It's my favorite night of the month. And it's perfect for a gloomy December night. (Or maybe it just seems gloomy because a bearded soloist is playing a saxophone out on the sidewalk under my office window as I type this.)

I bet some jerkass shows up with a runny nose and sits there and sniffs the entire time and ruins it for everyone.

Wish I could make it.

If I did, I'd either be finishing up 1Q84 or reading Marx's journalism written as a correspondent for the New York Tribune.

I remember the lobby being bigger. Is that just a corner of it?

Just how much stink eye should I expect if I showed up with a Kindle?

Is there a rule that says you must be 25-30 years old? Why does everyone look the same age?

I wish I didn't have a cold.

Weird, weird, weird.

I guess this is how socially awkward people "socialize"?

A bunch of angry Sloggers plotting how to kill each other.

I think we should Occupy the next gathering...

@6 - There is, at my house, it's just that it's only me. But there I sit, pretty much every night I don't have a show, reading and drinking peacefully. Wanna come over? ;-)
