March 2007
The BookCrossing Convention is approaching quite quickly (April 20-22). Take a look at the schedule here. We’ve got people registered from all over the US, Canada, England, Ireland, Wales and Australia (though who wouldn’t want to come to Charleston in April? August would be another story!) There are lots of interesting events going on with the Convention as well, including a Garden Tea at Mary Whyte’s studio, Literary tours with Joye Hanna, and discounted tours with Palmetto Carriage and Bulldog Tours. All the info can be found over on the Convention pages. If you’d like to help out at the Registration table or in any other way for the weekend, give bookczuk a shout.
Many, many thanks to Dakota Walker, who has come up with yet another fabulous way to help raise money for Trident Literacy. Not only will Dakota be offering chair massages at the Convention, but she will also host a writer’s workshop on Saturday. Partial proceeds from both these activities will go to TLA. Barnes and Noble is also running a book fair at the Convention to benefit TLA, as is Rutledge Coffee and Cream at their location at 511 Rutledge Ave at Nunan, one block North of the crosstown, downtown.
Our monthly meetup will be at Muddy Waters on March 10 at 2pm. Muddy Waters is located at 1739 Maybank Hwy at the corner of Maybank and Folly Rd. Next month (April 14), take a minute from your last minute tax rush to join us for our meetup which will be at the Convention site to give us all a sneak preview.
If you’re near a radio on Monday, March 12, tune into any of the South Carolina Public Radio stations for the program Your Day. One of the guests is bookczuk, talking about BookCrossing.
