In the Boston area? Tired of missing the fabulous NYC-based Kid Lit Drink Nights hosted by the likes of Besty Bird and Cheryl Klein? Well, now you don't have to feel like a wallflower ever again, because ....
(a plan concocted during a twitter chat between Anindita Basu Sempere, Melissa Stewart, John L. Bell, and me).
When: Monday, 9/21/09 (in solidarity with the Kid Lit Drink Night, we decided to go for concurrency), 6-8 p.m., stop by any time.
Where: Pie Bakery and Café, Newton Centre, Newton, MA, near the Newton Centre T-stop and plenty of area parking.
Who: Writers, illustrators, editors, agents, booksellers, librarians, readers -- anybody who wants to get great stories into the hands and hearts of young readers.
Why: Because face-to-face is still the best way to connect. And over pie? Come on.
Please RSVP in the comments, by email, or via tweet so we get an idea of how many might show up.

Grrr. Reason #4,602 I want to move up there!
(Also, how is it I'm only now learning about this Pie Bakery? My roommate and I could have done that instead of late-night Dunkin Donuts runs...)
I'll be there. As usual, thanks for organizing!
Dang, it's a Monday. Can't do those.
YES. awesome + thanks! Louisa (illustrator)
Agh! I have U2 tickets for that night. Mitali, please know that Bono is the only thing that could keep me away.
I hope there's a 2nd pie night down the road!
Thanks so much for organizing this and for choosing a T accessible location! I'd love to attend.
Sounds like a lot of fun! I am going to try hard to come!! I cannot promise anything but I'm going to try! :)
I would love to come but will be dandling grandson on my unreliable knee. Schedule another one, though!
Count us both in!

Great idea, Mitali. I'm out of town and not near my calendar but hope I can come. After all, it's pie!!
Gotta love an event called 'Pie Night.' I'll be there.
This sounds like a lot of fun! I'll be there. Thank you!
What a fabulous idea! I will put it on my calendar. . . .
As long as Hubby takes kids to soccer practice, all systems point to GO. Here's hoping there are no work emergencies!
I plan to come. Thank you for organizing Mitali!
Sounds like fun! I would love to come.
This sounds great. I'm planning on coming and bringing a couple of friends with me.
I hope to come, but not sure-- depends on childcare--but-- this sounds wonderful!
