To celebrate DC native Haili Blassingame’s debut novel, THEY ALL FALL IN LOVE AT THE END, Lost City Books is throwing a launch party themed around messy love stories. Haili, and a crew of writers she has assembled, will read excerpts from their work, but there will also be audience participation in the form of anonymously submitting messy dating stories. It’s going to be a night of laughter, of gasps, of books, of great company. Refreshments will be available. We can’t wait to see you there!

They are/were great to have in the neighborhood.”
Pop’s Bagels popped up in the IL Supremo Italian building (3209 Mount Pleasant Street, NW) back in October.
Sadly this pop up has indeed concluded.
However the proprietor of Pops tells me: (more…)
