The Budapest Bardroom's Mikulas Csomag of Literary Cheer on Dec 3

[Steven Carlson]

Dear Friends of the Bardroom,

Like Saint Nicolas arriving with his switches for all the naughty
literary types of Budapest, on December 3, the Bardroom will be
introducing new books by two local writers.

Time: 19:30 – 21:00

Venue: Treehugger Dan's Bookstore, Cafe & Lounge/Discover Hungary

Address: VI. District, Lázár u. 16. M1 (Yellow Metro Line) station
Opera, just off of Andrássy Ut., behind the Opera House.

Colorado-born journalist Marisa Beahm Klein is a veteran open mike
organizer and slam poet, and will be reading from her debut volume of
poetry Opened Aperture; while
artist-writer-explorer-of-life-around-the-world Aubrey Ramage-Lay will
share parts of his new book, Walking as Saints, and South African (by
way of London) singer-songwriter Rachel Hammond will entertain the
audience with her up-beat melodies.

In addition, you'll have a chance to win the usual sort of unique,
local treasures when hosts Steve Carlson and Kalman Farago test the
audience's knowledge on a range of obscure literary topics of a Santa
Claus-nature as the Budapest Bardroom Quiz runs throughout the
evening. For all potential bards, be prepared to participate in the
poetry writing contest. The night's best poem (determined by audience
reaction) will also fill your sock with a valuable prize. Furthermore,
aspiring writers can claim spots for open mike reading.

On behalf of the Bardroom,

Steve Carlson
