A quartet of readings, followed by "karaoke vibes," which I presume just means "karaoke." The long running small gay publisher could use some quick cash.

Get half-cut at LSH—your $45 gets you a glass of prosecco, two glasses of wine, a $5 LSH giftcard and some time with a staffer, who will try to "set you up" with a book you'll like. Personally I like to imagine you get all three glasses at once and everyone is walking around the store with their hands full. SOLD OUT!
