Reading & Signing: The French Revolution: A Novel
Saturday, August 14 - 5:30PM

Join Bernal author Matt Stewart for this reading and signing of his new novel, The French Revolution, which he initially tweeted in 140-character bursts, thereby attracting the attention of a publisher and scoring a book deal. We readers are lucky that awesome indie press Soft Skull Press snapped this novel up, because it's a quintessentially zany San Francisco tale, deftly written and wonderfully entertaining. Matt has hinted that he may show up to the Red Hill reading wearing a French Revolution-era costume- join us and you may get to see him in tight pants and epaulets! Free snacks and general bookish hilarity provided for all comers. For more information about Matt and The French Revolution, please visit his website matt-stewart.com.


FREE Gardening Workshop 6 to 7:30 pm: Intro to Permaculture
Tuesday, August 3 - 6:00PM

People are often put off by the word Permaculture. What is it? Who does it? Should I be worried that the word "cult" is embedded in it? Have no fear, Permaculture is just a design process useful for creating productive and ecological human settlements, and you need no membership or certificate to take part! In this class, we will introduce the core principles of Permaculture and how they relate to local food gardening. We will also cover some of the techniques most commonly associated with the P-word, like sheet-mulching and food forestry.
Join Antonio Roman-Alcala at Red Hill for this enlightening and totally free class (as well as a chance to check out Gaia's Garden, our personal permaculture pick)!
