Ah, we return again to the perfect marriage of my favorite pastimes, drinking and reading. While perusing the latest issue of the Mercury, a small ad caught my eye. I have a nose for these things. Though it’s not advertised on the website, the Secret Society Lounge (on NE Russell next to the Wonder Ballroom) has drink discounts Sunday-Thursday from 5-7pm for library card holders!
Load up on absinthe and start staring at yourself in that fish eye mirror while reading John Ashbery’s Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror (oh, snap, the library doesn’t have it).
The blog Things to Read, Drinks to Drink I mentioned recently hasn’t been updating, so we may have to form our own drinks and reading lists. The Secret Society Lounge specializes in classic cocktails, so start your planning. I love sidecars and absinthe, magic realism and travel writing.
I propose Reading & Drinking nights on Wednesdays, all in?
