Event notice: SPL stuff

A few years ago, the Seattle Public Library started a deal called something like What If Everybody in Seattle Read... [fill-in-the-blank]. The idea was to generate a community literary experience by having lots of people read and discuss one author's work (or works) at the same time - sort of a giant book group. Although they have shortened the name to Seattle Reads, they do it every year. This year, the book they are reading is a graphic novel: Marjan Satrapi's Persepolis, and thanks to the kind offices of JJ, I will be participating in one of the events:

Persepolis Read-in/Readers' Theater
2 p.m. Saturday, March 11
The Seattle Public Library
Fremont Community Library
731 N. 35th St., Seattle

Here's the main page for Seattle Reads.

New Resource

Hey folks, I've just come across this Seattle-scene site that looks quite informative and also seems fairly interesting, and thus it might be something to be added to the sidebar. If you think it's worthy, leave a comment so Walaka will know to add it to the sidebar.
