Here we are, in the full throes of our month-long Prospero's Birthday Fandango. Yes, Prospero's is 11 years old. In this business climate (and with our "business" model), this is something to crow about.
There are great book bargains (just in time for the holidays), our annual Sylvia Beach Bash party, a scavenger hunt, and t-shirt raffle. So drop by and stock up on like-new books for your holiday giving (and throw in a title for yourself while you are at it).
CALENDAR
Sat 11/22 – Live Music - Jessie Kates (of the Sexy Accident) @ 10:30 pm. Some fine alt pop songwriting – sort of Ben Folds meets The Clash. www.myspace.com/sexyaccident
Sun 11/23 – Live Music/guitar clinic - Peter Mulvey @ 3pm (1 hour program) guitar clinic and showcase performance. With 11 CDs or original music under his belt, Mulvey has been featured on NPR on several occasions.
If you love great songwriting and are looking for a chance to learn a few chops from a master – join us for a holiday clinic & performance.
Peter Mulvey is simply the Right Duke's favorite songwriter (Kitchen Radio is a desert island disc). Peter is a virtuoso guitar craftsman showcasing creative fretwork and rhythmic work underpinning captivating melodies. We are charging $10 for an hour of music and discussion. (Please give me a call 816.256.7243 or email me w84gdo@prosperosbookstore.com if you are planning on coming).
