Zoom link for tonight's reading party
For those tuning in virtually, tonight's party runs 7:30-9:30 pm Pacific
Tune out distractions and get some reading done tonight with a community of people who are doing the same thing. Paul Matthew Moore will be live on piano tonight, playing music specifically arranged and performed to be read to.

The Zoom broadcast of the live music — also known as the virtual party — is free if you are a paid subscriber to this substack. Just click on the link at the bottom of this post anytime between 7:30 pm and 9:30 pm Pacific.
Literary birthdays of the week will be announced during a brief pause in the music at 7:40 pm.
If you are an unpaid subscriber here, you’ll need a virtual ticket to join us.
If you’re one of the lucky few with a reservation at the sold out in-person party at the Sorrento, you’ll be in the room where it happens, the room with the piano, the room where the live set is broadcast from.
Don’t listen on laptop speakers
When listening from home, plug your computer into nice speakers if you can. Or plug some headphones in. The music will sound better and you will feel more connected to the rest of us reading at the Sorrento.
