We’re meeting Wednesday night at Proof Social Club, in Downtown Honolulu where Chaplain Lane meets Fort Street Mall!

6 to 10. There’s no program; just show up, get something to eat or drink, read, and (if you like!) meet other book-lovers. Pasta Boys will be there. Check out their IG (@pastaboys.proof) to see possible offerings.

We’ll have a book exchange table, so bring a few who might be looking for new homes, or take a few who would look great on your nightstand.

The cute kitty lamps will also be there.

Street parking is free after 6. I always park in the Beretania-Nuuanu underground municipal lot. It’s well-lighted with wide stalls, and it’s reasonably priced. It exits on Pauahi Street, so it’s about two short blocks from the bar.

A lot of people like to park in Kukui Plaza, which is right across Beretania from Fort Street Mall. It’s the same price and a lot closer, but I haven’t parked there since grad school days (we’re talking a long time ago) so I can’t personally vouch for it. Entrance on Kukui St. behind the Safeway.

Please text Mitchell (830-255-7423) if you’d like someone to accompany you to or from your vehicle or your bus stop! I’m serious!

Thursday night!

kahala mall, 6 to 8.

we will have a book exchange table. drop a couple, take a couple or whatever. there are no rules. i’d rather you take unclaimed books back, but if you don’t, i’ll be happy to drop them off at the little free library at makiki district park.

6 – say hi or not.

6:26 – optional group photo.

6:30 – read. physical books, ebooks, audio books, or whatever!

7:30 – keep reading or stick around and chat.

lots of food and drink options nearby, but no pressure to spend any money at all.

IF IT RAINS, look for us either at the tables beneath the eaves right in front of whole foods, or at tables in the mall.

Three meetups in February! More details as the dates approach!
