BayAreaLittens

#BayAreaLittens! Wanna meet up and read together on Tues, February 6?? 🍻📚🎉 (please tag anyone I missed!)

HardcoverHearts, RealLifeReading, BooksForEmpathy, JSW, Jas16, TaylorMay, Karen3, SusanInTiburon, KVanRead, SoniaC, readordierachel, cocomass, FreeReadAndWrite, sandrakelsey

HardcoverHearts I would love to! The only reservation I have is that I attended one of these there and they played really horrendous dance music during the silent reading period and I was so uncomfortable that I had to leave. I didn‘t know who to ask about it or to request it be (at the bare minimum) turned down. It was a Silent Reading event, for crying out loud! Do you think that was an anomaly? 7y

sarahbellum @HardcoverHearts Oh no! I‘ve never been to one of these events before, so I‘m not sure if that‘s normal or not 😕 7y

SusanInTiburon Golly, that looks fun! Especially if we could have a Litsy table - silent connection is quite powerful (at least on my silent meditation retreats)! 7y

SoniaC Oh this does sound fun! I agree a Litsy table would be perfect and hopefully no bad dance music! 7y

readordierachel I'm down! Sounds like fun. 7y

Karen3 This sounds like a lot of fun! Have to check my calendar 7y

cocomass I meant to respond to this yesterday—if I don‘t have work travel that day I‘ll plan to come along! 7y

HardcoverHearts Adding @Caksf since she came with me before. We are game as long as everyone is ok in saying something if they don‘t turn the music off at the right time. They have an initial meet and greet period which is fine for a little music. But given the name of the event, it should be silent. 7y

HardcoverHearts Wanted to check to see if people are still interested in meeting up for this? @cocomass @Karen3 @ReadOrDieRachel @SoniaC @SusanInTiburon @sarahbellum ? 7y

SusanInTiburon I assumed it was the reading people who would be silent, not the room. 7y

HardcoverHearts @SusanInTiburon - Sure but it was like trying to read in a techno disco. Some light background music would have been fine. Not the drum and bass they were playing at a volume that even my earplugs couldn‘t mitigate. And I am completely serious. 7y

readordierachel I'm still interested. 7y

HardcoverHearts @ReadOrDieRachel - Ok! I called to verify what the format is expected to be, and it turns out that was an outlier experience. They said while there may be soft background music, dance music was certainly not a part of it & absolutely not at those levels. He indicated that they had received multiple complaints about it after the event, so I guess I wasn‘t the only one surprised by it. Looking forward to it! Maybe others will come? 7y

readordierachel @HardcoverHearts Damn, I actually have to work, so I can't make it 😯 Was looking forward to this too. Next time! 7y

HardcoverHearts @ReadOrDieRachel - No problem. @Caksf and I will be there. @sarahbellum - will you be there? 7y

sarahbellum @HardcoverHearts Wound up working late, so I won‘t be able to make it 🙁. Have fun and hopefully work will cooperate next time! 7y

HardcoverHearts Bummer, but I totally understand. So far it‘s a million times better than it was last time and the place is packed! 7y
