When: 7:30pm-9:00pm, Tuesday, February 19th, 2008
Where: Upstairs at The Shebeen, behind The Irish Heather, 217 Carrall Street in Gastown

How(much)? $15 includes presentation, dinner of bangers and mash or vegetarian pasta, one celebratory beverage, and mingling.
Resurrecting the Old Skool Shebeen Club tradition of celebrating authors who are not actually present, we move up from our former practice of toasting dead celebrities and begin to celebrate the living! Amy Tan is deservedly one of the best-beloved authors on the contemporary fiction scene. February 19th is her birthday, so we have arranged a short presentation on her life and works and her (I’m sorry) don’t-quit-your-day-job rock band, the Rock Bottom Remainders. If anyone has a CD, you’re welcome to bring it!
7-7:30: meet and mingle
7:30-8: listen and learn
8-whenever: The Joy Luck Club Literary Lottery: good luck!

But…em dash or en dash? WHAT IS THE ANSWER????
You Are a Dash |
You have a ton of interests. While some of them are a bit offbeat, they all tie together well. You friends rely on you to bring novelty and excitement to their lives. (And while you’re the most interesting person they know, they can’t help feeling like they don’t know you well.) You excel in: Anything to do with money You get along best with: the Exclamation Point |
I guess he’s still bitter about that whole “gelding” thing. Thoroughbreds are so sensitive!
In news that will delight fans of Walter Farley‘s classic Island Stallion books, a winning and winsome registered Thoroughbred racehorse called Not Abandoned has slipped the surly bonds of civilization and apparently either dematerialized entirely or joined a herd of wild brumbies in the Outback. Unfortunately for the brumby gene pool, the horse has long since been parted from his twin tickets to immortality, having been gelded as a colt. Still, I’m sure he’s an excellent conversationalist.
Australian authorities are also investigating the possibility of horse rustlers, although the market around Alice Springs for an internationally infamous seven year old gelding who can’t be raced (no papers) or sold would be less than millionaire-making; he’d be worth perhaps 35 cents per pound, meaning about $400.
I’m sure, however, that this case will be solved. Just as soon as OJ Simpson finds the real killers of Shergar.
