Happening Friday / Saturday Nights at Skylight Books

Skylight Books in Los Feliz seems to be the most writerly of writerly hangouts. We just got word of two very happening events they'll be holding over the summer. The first is a Literary Salon, and the second is an ongoing happenings every Friday and Saturday evening through the end of August. Both sound like a great way to meet new people, or a fabulous warm summer night date night.

Hot Summer Nights Friday/Saturday Nights:

"From July 10 until the end of August we will stay open till midnight on Friday and Saturday nights! In the words of Steve and Justin at our store, we'll have "free coffee, killer atmosphere, book specials, smelly boys, lovely women, music probably too loud to read to, genre-f*cking, busking, ice cream, and real talk! We'll have vibe inducing events like moody DJs, experimental films, musicians of the heart, and snacks." Or at least some version of these will happen on different nights. So come on by if you are in the neighborhood...maybe after a movie next door at the Los Feliz 3 or the Vista, a late dinner at Fred 62 or Cafe Figaro, on the way to or from Ye Rustic Inn, Vermont Restaurant, the Dresden Room, Palermo Ristorante, or any other of our wonderful neighbors. See you in the moonlight... We'll kick off the first night (Fri 7/10) after 10pm with musical 'busking' by Arlo and Aisling.
