No, Not a Bar Crawl, a BOOK Crawl

Published by Erin at 9:03 pm under Books, Carroll Gardens

Thumbnail image for mynameiswill.jpgI love a good bar crawl, but this is not a bar crawl, it’s a book crawl. It is, at least, a book crawl about a book with a sexy name–My Name is Will: A Novel of Sex, Drugs and Shakespeare. And it does involve bars (free drinks always bring out the poor intellectuals).

So here are the details. With the support of Carroll Gardens bookstore Freebird Books, and the publisher Twelve Books,  author Jess Winfield will be attempting to set the world record for most Shakespeare plays performed solo in Brooklyn in a single day (hopefully you are already a little bit drunk when you are reading this and that will sound really impressive). To join the party, meet at Pier 11 in Manhattan  at 2pm on Saturday, July 19, or Rocky Sullivan’s at 2:30pm, Brooklyn Ice House at 2:45pm, Red Hook Soccer Fields at 3pm, Jalopy at Columbia and Soodfull at 3:30pm, B61 at 4pm or Freebird Books at 4:30pm onwards.

    Just to clarify the drinks won’t be free at the individual stops–just the entertainment. But for anyone going the distance and finishing up at our bookstore, beer will be on hand (kindly donated by the Greenway).

    Ah yes, but the very idea of free beer got your attention, didn’t it? Sorry for the slightly misleading line in there.
