Kidlit Drink Night ALERT: Change In Venue

November 14, 2008 by Betsy Bird   3 comments

Faces and Names has betrayed us by having the sheer gall to take a reservation in their backroom before we were able to give them a call.  Shoot.  So we’re now having the soiree at Bar Nine.  That way, even if we don’t get their back room, there’s plenty of space to hang out in general.

What:  Kidlit Drink Night – A time when anyone who wants to talk about children’s books is invited to imbibe and talk at length on a variety of tasty topics.  Teacher, librarians, editors, marketing types, booksellers, authors, illustrators, parents, and enthusiasts of every stripe are welcome.

When:  Monday, November 17th.  At 6:30.

Where:  Bar Nine a.k.a. Hell’s Kitchen (sorry, Laura!)

    This makes me miss Manhattan – sounds like fun. I toast you all with my chocolate soy protein shake (I am SUCH a Californian!)

    Hi Lee from Melanie! You will be missed. I have not been blogging much lately due to work. And, I’ve had a cold all week, picked it up at a school visit 🙂 but hope to be perfect for Monday to make a delivery and then see my pals. Bar Nine is where you had it for SCBWI ’07.
