Greetings!
Let the Summer begin! We've expanded our menu, restocked our Book Store, and enhanced our live entertainment offerings to bring you the best fun this area has to offer. If you have visited AfterWords recently you will note we expanded our space with a fully equipped stage including projector, screen and sound equipment. We will be doing a lot more AfterHours at AfterWords this Summer.
Starting in May we will add a "Dinner and a Movie" night to our nightly lineup. Debuting Monday May 18th we will feature a classic movie and a theme dinner. We hope to provide a unique social evening at a reasonable cost. Also starting in May we will be recording and broadcasting some of our nightly events. Stay tuned to www.wordsafterwords.com for where and how to access these broadcasts.
In May we hang new art with the introduction of D.J. Judkins and Jerry Johnson and their Unique Digital HotRod Art. Their show will be June 5, but the artwork will hang throughout May and June. DJ's work is Pin and Ink with digital color of his hot rod fantasy world and it is one of a kind reminiscent of HotRod cartoons of my youth. Jerry's work features digitized prints of collector's vehicles (some local) in a colorful digitized rendering. Come by to view the entire collection of over 50 pieces.
As always this is a snapshot of our plans, stay tuned to www.wordsafterwords.com for the ever changing schedule. Please e
