STEVEN HALL reading & booksigning for The Raw Shark Texts Tuesday, May 1st at 7 pm at The Booksmith (1644 Haight Street in San Francisco) Eric Sanderson wakes up one day with no idea who or where he is. A note instructs him to call a Dr. Randle, who informs him that he is undergoing yet another episode of memory loss and that for the last two years, he’s been suffering from an acute disassociative disorder. But there may be more to the story. . . . Join Steven Hall as he reads from his sensational debut novel, The Raw Shark Texts. Steven Hall was born in Derbyshire in 1975. He studied Fine Art at Sheffield Hallum University. His “Stories for a Phone Book” appeared in New Writing 13, the controversial anthology that shook-up British letters. This Booksmith sponsored event will take place at The Booksmith (1644 Haight Street in San Francisco). For further information, call 415-863-8688 or visit www.booksmith.com If you can't attend this event and would like to order a signed copy of the author's new book, please email or phone our store.

Drupal Meeting
Where: Panera Bread Tampa
Date: 2007-12-01 15:00:00
Type:
I guess the All Florida Drupal Meeting in Gainesville didn't get off the ground, so I thought I would suggest a local Tampa Drupal Meeting for Saturday, 1 December from 3-5 p.m. at the Panera Bread in New Tampa. This location has easy access from the I-4, I-75, and the I-275. Everyone in the All Florida Drupal Group is invited, but I know it's a long drive for some. I'd really like to at least get out the local Drupalers in the Tampa area. This Panera Bread does have wireless internet, and I suggest everyone bringing their laptops, so we can look at each others Drupal sites, and ask "how'd you do that?". The Panera Bread in New Tampa is on Bruce B. Downs Blvd, 2 lights North/East of the I-75. If you're coming on the I-75, take exit 270 onto Bruce B. Downs, and drive about 1 mile North/East, at the second stoplight turn left and make an immediate right into the parking lot. At the far side (in front of Circuit City) is Panera Bread. There is a Bennigan's next door if anyone wants to continue the conversation and change the coffee for beer.
Alejandro Sanz
Where: Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center Shimberg Playhouse
Date: 2008-02-06 20:00:00
Type:
Grammy Award winning Spanish balladeer Alejandro Sanz has sold more than 20 million albums worldwide. A truly unique artist, Sanz is known to mix touches of electronica and snippets of rap into his array of edgy and often seductive Spanish music while being backed by an incredibly talented and versatile live band. His distinct voice and charismatic stage presence creates a high-energy performance. Rightly lauded as a singer, songwriter and producer, Sanz lent his golden touch to a number of hits including songs by Julio Iglesias and Shakira. He duets with Shakira on her hit single 'La Tortura,' and in Sanz's recent album 'El Tren de los Momentos' in the song 'Te lo Agradezco, Pero No.'
