Susan Wise Bauer Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I'm going to be speaking at the Princeton Public Library at 7:30 on Monday, October 6. Are any of you interested in coming and meeting up for coffee before or after the event? Just thought it might be fun-- SWB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One time I attended a lecture at a library, and I was the ONLY audience member!!!! There were two or three speakers, so we sat in a circle and they told me all about being a doula and I bombarded them with questions. It was great (for me, anyway, they were pretty disappointed that no one else showed up). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan Wise Bauer Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 What's the topic, Susan? Here's the info from the Princeton website: Monday, October 6, 2008 7:30-9:00 p.m., Thinking Allowed The Art of the Public Grovel: Sexual Sin and Public Confession in America In this fascinating and important history of public confession in modern America, author Susan Wise Bauer explains why and how evangelical-style confession became a mainstream secular American rite. Revealing the rhetoric, theology and history that lie behind every successful public plea for forgiveness, The Art of the Public Grovel will interest anyone who has ever wondered why Bill Clinton is still popular while Jim Bakker fell out of public view.

Susan Wise Bauer Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 It looks like it might run late. How about before? Anyone know a reasonable place where we could meet up for dinner around 5:30 or 6? I'm staying at the Nassau Inn and don't have a car. Then if anyone wants to hang around and paint the town afterwards, we could discuss that. :-) SWB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissel Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 (edited) Well, Panera's almost right around the corner, I think, and they have a good-sized back room for hanging out and being rowdy :D Other that, PJ's is the only other place I've eaten in there for a long time, and I'm not sure that would work. Is Triumph Brewery still there? That would probably be a fun place to eat with a group. Anyone know? Edited September 29, 2008 by melissel Added to the wrong post!

*anj* Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Well, it depends on what you want to eat. Then there's Teresa Caffe, which is really good, and moderately priced. I just found out that The Original Soup Man (you know, "No soup for you!" from "Seinfeld.") has opened a franchise in Princeton. That could be tasty and inexpensive. And it's very conveniently located in Palmer Square, which is a short walk from the Library. I like to go to Winberie's for pub type food. Later on there are two places, even three, that have really good ice cream. First, there's the Halo Pub. It's owned by a local micro-dairy, and is a local favorite. Then there's Thomas Sweet, which is legendary. The original one is near the Rutgers campus. They make their own chocolate and their own ice cream and they are top notch. I've loved them since my days at Rutgers, but I also want to mention that last spring they were generous enough to donate about 20 gallons of ice cream to our Homeschool Choir's end of year picnic. :D The Bent Spoon has organic ice cream, some of which is flavored with locally grown fruit. Unfortunately they close at 6 on Mondays. There's also a Starbucks nearby on Nassau Street. If you're staying at the Nassau Inn, all of these places are a pleasant walk away. A few of them are actually in Palmer Square, where the hotel is located. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RegularMom Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I'm in Bucks County, PA, and only about an hour away from Princeton. I'd like to come too, if there's room for one more. And I know of another mom near me who also might want to come. What's really wild is that I grew up in Princeton, and I spent my summers hanging out in the Princeton Public Library, so not only would I have a chance to hear you speak, but I'd also get a wild ride on memory lane. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
