Off the Hook

How was the Barman Paperback Launch Party? Thank you for asking. A wonderful time was had by all. We held the event at the RX Gallery. This remarkable loft space is hidden away in the Tenderloin, easily the most dangerous part of San Francisco. I anticipated about 200 people, but reduced that number by about ten-percent or 20 people in the event of carjackings or other first-degree felonies. Conceiveably, BARMAN could have turned out to be the most expensive paperback ever sold: Approximately $260 (i.e., $10 for the book and $250 for the car/theft deductible to insurance).

The first step was getting past this man safely. Once inside, the lovely and talented Martha, greeted guests with door prizes that included books, Candy Barmen, and/or drinks. Hundreds gathered to take in the music and flirt. I couldn't have thrown the party without party planner extraordinaire, Tracey Gold (on the right), and the little misses, Kris (on the left).
