Hey everyone,

Please come to this book reading and fun gathering with LA-based Karen Dawn, longtime activist and awesome person, at the Usual Suspects Cafe--a great new vegetarian restaurant that needs our support. Karen is the author of the new AR book Thanking the Monkey and runs the AR media list Dawnwatch, a fantastic listserv to be informed of animal-related media that would benefit from letters to the editor about.

I actually can't be there tomorrow (maybe I'll come by late) but wish I could!

See Karen's email invite below, and invite friends!

Hi Bay Area Folks,

We have arranged, totally last minute, a San Francisco Thanking the Monkey reading/signing and book launch party on Tuesday, July 1, following my appearance on View from the Bay on ABC, Tuesday afternoon.

I will send out a little more information later, but for now, just wanted to make sure local animal advocates had something to go on, and could make a plan to join us if you don't already have cemented plans for this Tuesday evening. It is going to be a fun night! We are doing it Tuesday, July 1, 7pm at THE USUAL SUSPECTS450 Broadway (Montgomery St), San Francisco 94133which is a wonderful new vegetarian restaurant in North Beach. They have a fabulous performance space and bar upstairs for the reading, at 7pm sharp. (I'll provide wine or champagne!). Then we can mosie on downstairs for dinner afterwards (at about 8pm). If you are an early diner, come at 6! And I do recommend making a reservation.

At the Los Angeles and New York parties I was joined in reading by some of the wonderful animal friendly actors. (See www.ThankingtheMonkey.com and www.ThankingtheMonkey.com/media_previews.php) for more on that.) San Francisco isn't so full of them, but I am lining up a few "special guests." (Please let me know if you have ideas.) And I know a lot of fun folks are coming, so we'll have a good time --- and hear some segments of a book the critics have said nice things about, and have some good organic wine and great veggie food. Please go to www.ThankingtheMonkey.com and click "Readings" to RSVP if you can make it. Seating will be limited, with preference going to those on the RSVP list.

As this is so last minute, we could really use some help spreading the word, so please invite your Bay Area friends. See you Tuesday!

Yours and the animals,Karen Dawn-------
