Just talked to the nice folks at Pix and confirmed that they no longer do brunch on the weekends. It was kind a of a one-man show, and that man is no longer there. A shame. And now, since I’m giving away chapters that won’t be in the book anymore, here’s what I had written about Pix:

Sad news from MLK Boulevard last week — sad, but not shocking.
Hannah Bea’s will close for good on June 30, after a going-away party on June 28. See their website for details.

… something else coming in that space. I spoke to the new owner today, and he and his partner plan to open, yes, The Blue Pig on Memorial Day Weekend.

I’ll be selling signed, updated copies of my two hiking books this Saturday, May 17, at the fabulous Alberta Street Art Hop.
I don’t know exactly where I’ll be located yet, so I guess you’ll just have to come out and look around, while enjoying all the other artists, musicians, street perfo
