Two first-time thingies this weekend.
Saturday. The Hawaii State Library is celebrating the 250th birthday of our nation from 9 to 1 with games, live music, and a scavenger hunt.
From 11 to 1, Mitchell will be showing Revolutionary Youth, a set of clips from Ken Burns’s excellent documentary, The American Revolution. A short discussion of the video will follow.
Then, the bookish part. We’ll discuss any books you’ve read about the American Revolution. It will be a great chance to compare our own understanding with Ken Burns’s vision, and to pick up recommendations for new reads!
Sunday. We are very excited to have a Silent Book Club meetup at Vintage Books, a great speakeasy in Kaimuki, in the old 3660 on the Rise space.
We’ll start at 4 with (optional!) socializing and some (also optional!) photos. Then we’ll settle in with our drinks and bites, enjoying an hour or so of quiet reading.
