Thanks for a Great Party!

November 12th, 2009

Thanks to everyone who made our 45th Anniversary and Grand Re-Opening Celebration a success! Dave Eggers was joined by Abdulrahman and Kathy Zeitoun for signing books on Friday – Ray Nichols took some great photos. On Saturday we had a full house for Peter Cooley, who read his poetry and signed copies of his books, and Susan Tucker, who edited “New Orleans Cuisine: Fourteen Signature Dishes and Their Histories.” Kalpana the Storyteller enchanted the children with her tales. Everyone enjoyed the gumbo, the birthday cake, and Debauche: The Russian Mafia Band!
