Neal Pollack's Club Sutra
Thursday, February 11
7 PM
Shakti Box
4640 Franklin Avenue
Los Angeles 90027
(upstairs behind the Video Hut on Vermont)
Join Neal as he reads passages from his hilarious upcoming yoga memoir STRETCH, and as he discusses various topics in yoga philosophy. In between the talky bits, Julie Granata, a most excellent professional yoga teacher, will take the class through a stimulating workout. Guaranteed to impress the mind and the body! $10 suggested donation.
This will be a once-monthly event. The next classes are scheduled for March 11 and April 15. Come study with Neal before he gets too expensive, or before he stops teaching yoga, whichever comes first (almost certainly the former).

I'm thinking about coming down to the LA stop. Will there be an open bar?

Philly was real good stuff! I only wish I was home in Boston for your appearance with Harry & the Potters...

Since I live in BFE central Illinois the best I can hope for is Chicago. My husband and I would drive four hours to the big city to see you.

We are too hip in Seattle. Hip enough to get excited that a great writer who was allegedly once hip might come here. We still await you Neal.

Neal,
I enjoy your writing very much. Please email me an address where I can send you a copy of my latest second rock music novel (which I'm developing as my specialty). I am certainly not at your level, but I'm getting out to do my first Author Event at Book Revue on April 4 on Long Island.
best,
Sully

Just caught the tantalizing excerpt from your last book about your bohemian days in Roger's Park. Don't want to go into great detail about the inaccuracies, just want to say: If I had a nickel for every time I said to someone back in the day, "No man, Neal isn't really an asshole, you just got to get to know him." well, if I had those nickels I'd be more middle-class than your fucking parents. Biting the hand that fed you is still uncool in hippy land, but hey, maybe it's ok wherever you live now.
Your old roomie,
Ristin

Sounds like Ristin needs a hug . . . and a new name.

Nah, Ristin's still one of the most interesting people I've ever known...and we still use those awesome nesting bowls she gave us for our wedding.

I wonder if you could squeeze the last 215 Festival (yes, sadly, the last) into that busy schedule? October 24-26.

I can't! It's my son's birthday party that weekend...email me!

I followed your blog on Parents.com and read Alternadad. I just saw that you were in Sanibel last November. I wish I had known you were there, I live in Fort Myers and would have made it to the conference! BTW - I miss the stories about E. I read Alternadad during my pregnancy of my now 8-mo son, it was great to read about the funny experiences I have to look forward to. Any plans to be in SWFL again?
