Sunday Merienda/Book Swap & More!

Greetings all! Very sorry to have been MIA on WBA activities. I am back from Córdoba, and, as I’m sure many of you who have been around B.A. for a while can in some way sympathize with, I find myself scrambling to find an affordable apartment and contending with a computer suffering a slow sputtering death at the same time. Thus, I’m going to put out a shameless plea: Anybody have a lead on a place to live, an HP specialist/miracle worker, an affordable laptop for sale, or somebody coming from the states that could bring me a computer if I order one on-line?

O.K. enough begging…

Sunday Merienda & Book Swap!:
Sunday, March 22
5 p.m.
Bar de Cao
Av. Independencia 2400 (corner of Matheu)
in the barrio of San Cristóbal

Come meet up with other writers to chat and/or trade or lend books! Book part optional, your presence is more than enlightening enough. If you bring a book or few, keep in mind that trading is perhaps a better alternative to lending when dealing with folks you don’t know, i.e. lend at your own risk and make sure your name is written inside so your lendee can keep track. Hope to see you there!
