STANZA: literary summer fundraiser

It's a literary party-slash-fundraiser for STANZA--hosted by the delectable Temescal Brewery in Oakland. If you don't like fun then you'll at least like the beer.  The magic letter is 'B': - Book matchmaking: kissing booths aren't quite our cup of espresso, but you *can* sit down with our experts and get matched with the book of your dreams. Hurry up loves, your unread lit is waiting. - Bake sale: brownies and bites made especially for you by a local book nerd. Perhaps even madelines if we're feeling Proust-y. - Bike wash: does your ride need some extra shine? We'll wax on about Bolaño without waxing off your paint. - Brews: Temescal Brewery is giving us proceeds from their charity brew of the day! Drink up--we can tell you're thirsty. - Booksigning: got unautographed books on your shelf? Gosh, we love opportunities to practice writing our own names. Bring us any book by any author: we'll totally sign it for you. - Borges' Gamble: one lucky guy/gal wins a copy of their very own book from Borges' never-before-seen Library of Babel! *swoon* --- FUNDRAISER GOALS: $1,200 pays for our set design costs $1,600 pays for our set design costs and gives our performing artists a stipend so they don't have to work for free $2,000 pays for our set design costs, gives our performing artists a stipend, and gets us a premier venue near BART!
