The lovely people at Broadway Books love dogs. They also love books about
dogs. On this evening, we'll be celebrating the publication of two canine-related novels: the second in the Minerva Clark series -- "Minerva Clark Goes to the Dogs," which features a trio of troublesome corgis -- and Christine Fletcher's "Tallulah Falls," about a young girl in trouble
and the dying dog who helps her.
Please join us -- and bring your
well-behaved, on-a-leash dog. We promise edible treats for all humans and
canines in attendance.

Northwest Film Center -- Whitsell Auditorium |
|
Description |
Film nerds and lovers of all things Italian, this evening is for you! The lovely people at the Northwest Film Center have secured a new print of David Lean's "Summertime," starring Katharine Hepburn in a pair of cunning red heels. The 1955 romance, also starring Rossano Brazzi, was shot on location in Venice. The city has never looked more better, and probably never will. I'm your hostess for the evening, and will also be administering my Katharine Hepburn All-Star Trivia Quiz. With prizes! Or, well, one prize, which goes to the winner. Copies of "How to Hepburn" will be available for sale.
