Come Have a Drink with Me at IACP

The International Association of Culinary Professionals (an organization of which I am a card- carrying member) is having its annual hoo-haw this month in pretty Portland, OR, the latter part of the week of the 19th. You can read more about the whole conference here, but I want to specifically tell you about (in case you’re going to be there, or in Portland at all that weekend) a cosmically coolerific cocktail party that the happening heroes at Harvard Common Press are throwing that week, on Friday, the 23rd, from 4:30 to 7. The HCP is the press that has put out my little volumes of lore, and so I get to be at the party. And best of all (as if that wasn’t enough)? This wing-ding is at the Teardrop Lounge, Portland’s penultimate cocktail palace. And if that’s not enough? Other sweetheart HCP authors are going to be there (including high rollers Fred Thompson, Paul Abercrombie, Linda Ziedrich, and Karen Adler & Judith Fertig) and the party is co-hosted by the world’s bestest booziest magazine, Imbibe. Jiminy! I don’t know how I won’t burst from excitement. So, come on by, have that drink, say hello, and have that second drink. I’ll be happy to see you there.
