Writers in Buenos Aires Newsletter
September 15, 2009
NEWS & EVENTS
Back from the northern hemisphere and summer’s over. Fortunately, there’s spring! And I’m sure those of you who’ve been snuggling up with your space heaters are even more excited than I am. Join us for the last day of winter:
Writers in Buenos Aires Sunday Merienda & Book Swap
Sunday, September 20th
5 p.m.
Bar de Cao
Av. Independencia 2400 (corner of Matheu)
in the barrio of San Cristóbal
Come meet up with other writers to chat and/or trade or lend books! Book part optional, your presence is more than enlightening enough. If you bring a book or few, keep in mind that trading is perhaps a better alternative to lending when dealing with folks you don’t know, i.e. lend at your own risk and make sure your name is written inside so your lendee can keep track. Hope to see you there!
