We're having a /lit/ meetup in Boston. Trident Booksellers & Café on Newbury Street.

Email bostonliterature at gmail if you're interested.

>Why?

If you've been to university organizations, reading groups, or hung out in a cafe up here, you've noticed the stilfling eggshell-walking culture. And also that no one reads /lit/ books.

>What?

Something in the vein of Ben Franklin's Junto. Discussion, critique, even a /lit/ oriented rag for exercising yr writing/editing/design muscles.

>When?

We'll coordinate over email. Probably something like a weekday evening or weekend morning (or whatever). Trident stays open until midnight, so there's that...

I would be very interested. I wouldn't like to have a set of books to talk to necessarily, that desire may emerge later on. A platform to perhaps achieve willing conversations might be nice, although you faggots may come up short.

Yes, I was thinking we could stage a heist. The Trident on Newbury keeps around 100 copies of Milk and Honey on location daily (and that's not an exaggeration). The store receives a new shipment of copies of Milk and Honey the second Friday of every month; on that day you can expect about 200 copies of Milk and Honey to be in the store on that second Friday.
The second Friday of December will be at the climax of Christmas shopping season. I have a source that tells me that to prepare for the holiday rush, the midnight the night before Trident will be receiving TRIPLE the usual shipment of Milk and Honey.
Gentlemen, there may be as many as 600 copies of Milk and Honey at Trident Booksellers & Cafe on that date...I say we take them all.

It's also a cafe, so we can probably order books for the table & then one by one slink out. Though it'd be tempting to send the waitress on wild goose chases looking for fake books.

Ask the cashier for The Legacy of Totalitarianism in a Tundra and she'll open the hatch under the carpet to the smoky pool room / bar where we'll be meeting.

Tell the bouncer you're Gregory Berrycone, he'll let you in.
