June 2015
It's officially summer, and we've got a whole slew of events for you to put on your calendar, as you wait patiently for the Warriors to tip-off in the NBA Finals. Leading off the month of June, we've got Aleksandar Hemon reading from his newest novel, then later as part of Litquake we're hosting Maggie Nelson at Viracocha (with lots of great stuff in between). Check our calendar for more information and details, or keep an eye on your inbox for our newsletter.
Below you'll find our events for the first half of June. We hope to see you at Green Apple (on Clement or 9th Ave.) in person!
