The stack for the Guinness records is complete. Come in and guess how many volumes. The closest without going over wins a romantic dinner for two. The records we plan to set are most romances sold by a brick and mortar independent bookstore in one business day, most romances sold in one minute, and most romances sold to a man in one transaction. There will be samples and fun for all. The festivities begin at 10 am on March 15th and will end at 6 pm, with a live radio feed from K-DOCK Oldies 92.9FM. Come have a good time and support charity. Paperbacks will sell for $1.00 each and Hard cover romances will be $2.00. Half of the proceeds will be split between the Women's Safety and Resource Center and South Coast Food Share. With well over a cord there will be romance for all. In addition there will be an artist call to produce a work of art in any medium utilizing at least one romance novel. The art fest continues through March (deadline is March 31st), and a juried and people's choice selection will be made and awarded during the March Art walk.
Friday was the second First Friday Poetry Reading. It was well attended and featured Ralph Tislarete presenting a mini-workshop on taking poetry to another level with sound, music and video. An award winning poet, he is published in 100+ anthologies, and has been creating 'poem tracks' for the past several years. He has been writing over forty years. Another surprise was a cowboy poet and fiddler. All in all an exciting evening. Several others read to much appreciation. Remember this will be an going feature at Colette's on the first Friday of each month. The plan is to have a featured poet, and then open the 'mic' up to the floor.
Later in March (the 21st) the Buccaneers will be presenting their eclectic mix of Celtic, folk, sea chanties and bluegrass on our stage at 7:30 pm. Suggested cover donation is $12.00. Mark your calendars as it promises to live up to the caliber of performers that have graced our stage.
