This just in from Friend of Scratchpad (FOS) Tanya Whiton, who threw down short story-wise at Scratchpad #1: the Maine Writers & Publishers Alliance is celebrating its 35th birthday on Thursday, August 12 with an event they’re calling Author! Author! Should there be a period at the end of that sentence? Perhaps! Perhaps!
The evening will unfold in three parts, or chapters, beginning with a dinner featuring 11 Portland restaurants and ten guest authors; next is a champagne and dessert reception at the Portland Public Library; last but not least the party adjourns to Space for the brassy, classy strains of the Fogcutters Big Band. Tickets and more information for the entire event, or portions thereof, may be had right here.
See you on August 12, and then again on August 17 for Scratchpad #3, featuring a marvelous lineup that I will post soon! Soon!
