« Brainiac's bedside table, 4th edition | Main | New Ideas editor » Friday, June 22, 2007Pazzo soireeBrainiac helped organize an intimate soiree, at Pazzo Books in Roslindale Square last night. (Pazzo recently won Best Bookstore in WBZTV's Best of Boston poll.)  Representatives of Boston Magazine (ex-Dig editor Joe Keohane, now a BoMag columnist), the Boston Phoenix (inc. Caitlin Curran, Will Spitz, and ex-Ideas columnist James Parker), Boston Globe (inc. movie critic Wesley Morris, web design editor Tito Bottitta, photo editor Susan Vermazen, and Sidekick editor Katie Johnston Chase), Boston.com (inc. multimedia producer Thushan Amarasiriwardena), and numerous local artists and designers (inc. artists Michael and Erica Lewy, Christina Fritsch, Jason Chase, and PBS Kids game designer Rick Pinchera), writers (inc. yours truly), craftspeople (inc. JP's Kosta Demos and Kevin Cradock), entrepreneurs (inc. David Warner and Kristine Cortese of JP's City Feed), and other friends showed up. If you were invited and didn't come, you missed out!  Beer and wine were poured, babies were passed from person to person, children raced around underfoot, Middle Eastern food was consumed, multiple games of chess and Skee-Ball were played, books and prints were purchased well after closing time. Who needs downtown Boston? Neighborhoods are where it's at. Posted by Joshua Glenn at 10:28 AM
